I\'m mad crazy about your sculpture here. In my deranged inner sight it represents existence, the circular representing an ageing \'being\' trapped between a \'chock\' and a hard place, all performed on an ever decaying plinth.

HI MIKE ~ You are a POETRY MASTER and I endorse your detailed memo differentiating between a HAIKU (Nature & Seasons) and a SENRYU (everything else !) many people call all 5 7 5 poems HAIKU which devalues the difference ! TANKAS (which have 31 syllables in a 57577 format) are H & S with attitude and can be on any subject ! H & S are often (deliberately) open ended the final two lines 7 7 are for explanation ! It is a poetic minefield ! I love the \"transience\" in your SENRYU ! When i visited the FLINTSTONES I saw a sculpting very similar to yours on the mantle-piece ! FRED told me it was called WHEEL \'N WEDGE and is a classic ! Thanks for caring about the Structure and Form of Written Poetry. For me as a Teacher of Poetry to Adult ~ Structure and Shape of a Written Poem (I can\'t understand why some on MPS present good poems as continuous PROSE ?) is important as is the Syllabus Pattern. Rhyme Pattern and Verse (Stanza) Length is also important for PRESENTATION & PERFORMANCE (Recitation) Poetry is ORAL and AURAL and (for me) Poetry Readings are always very fulfilling and exciting ~ Here endeth the Last Lesson ~ Yours BRIAN

You being the \'first poet of the day\' again?! Was you two minutes late?! Published 00:02. Well, it would take 2 minutes to type it up! (Do shut up now Orchi, you\'re waffling!). heehee.

A fine write Michael. I got me own \'problem\'. I\'m not one to dance really. Shall I go to a happy-clappy church (dancing available if wished!) or bit stiff-and-starchy one (don\'t anyone dare dance!).

RESTITUTION
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

THANKS MICHAEL ~ nice poem ~ nice structure (flexible ?) ~ nice subject ~ RESTITUTION ! I love \"rhyming couplets\" because I\'m a PP (Performance Poet) and I used them in my DODECET (6 RC\'s mainly in iambic pentameter) Syllabi rule OK ~ Many of our MPS Family find Syllable counts in poems difficult and I do get sent some otherwise excellent poems to syllabise ! THE CON-VERSE structure has both a syllabus pattern and a rhyme pattern ~ which in my \"classical book\" makes it a PROPER POEM ~ OK !
Thanks for educating ~ Yours BRIAN \"A Form poet !\"
