Style/Type: Structured: Eastern

Editing Stage: Editing - polished draft

About the Author

Region, Country: London, Culture Capital of the World

Favorite Poets: Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred Owen, Rupert Brooke, Chaucer, Shakespeare to name but a few. And VERY IMPORTANTLY: Erich Fried, a leftwing Austrian of Jewish ancestry who fled the Nazis and became a British citizen in 1949., And, other writers (non-poets mainly): Raymond Chandler, Irvine Welsh, Anthony Burgess, Graham Greene, Charles Bukowski, John le Carré, Anthony Horowitz, Mick Herron, Margaret Attwood, Edna O'Brian, Maeve Binchy., Writers who I find vastly over-rated: TS Eliot, Virgina Woolf, Sylvia Plath, Phil Larkin, E.A. Poe, A. Ginsburg, Longfellow, Gerald Manley Hopkins (actually I LOATHE Hopkins more than damson-dappled words can say).

Nice...

but I think that if you are going to post Haiku, you should post at least three at a time. "Liver with bunions" Ha ! Funny, that. ~ Geezer.

Length...

..isn't the only criterion.

Breadth counts too.

True...

most assuredly
Haiku is not only length
but 'tis also heft.

Thank you!

I was quite pleased with it, as the actress said to the bishop (with a smirk).
