I think I've written a few sometime long ago, maybe over twenty years. Might try my hand at it again. I like how you were able to pull out a coherent poetic message without it sounding like gibberish, which is how I mostly read this form from others.

I tried my hand at this somewhat in response to William Carlos Williams - just to see how much I could say in such a limited space. Thanks for checking in on me.

I like WCW. No Problem.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Love the composition and delivery. I'll have to try my hand at it someday!

[W. Barrett Munn]

Thanks. I definitely urge you to try this form. I find form practices quite helpful. Are you familiar with short poems of William Carlos Williams?

[Kelly Scheppers]

No, but I will look him up. Any read in particular you could suggest?

I really enjoy writing this form of poetry and you showcase this style so well.
