Is anyone here interested in or write Haiku and/or Short Poems?

Yes, above all the epigrams of Ancient Greece. I've tried to approximate - very loosely - the metre in some of my poems by following an accentual-syllabic iambic pentametre with an iambic tetrametre. Many brief poems are amongst my favourites, evoking much in few words.

I write these myself ;D
Is there anyone else?
If there is enough interest I could make a few more sections! One for Haiku and one for Short Poems (under 25 words)

Hi, I am pretty hopeless when you use words like would you mind explaining it for me please. I love poetry but do not profess to be a poet, and must admit I am one of those people who writes without ever having learnt the dynamics of poetic writing technique and what sets a good poem apart from a bad one. Mine are probably the latter lol I have written a few Haiku, just using a few basic rules for the number of syllables kind of thing (please excuse my ignorance ) Heres one on Autumn : When autumn awakes, bright, crisp leaves fall and gather beneath sultry skies. Anyway........I am slinking off to see if I can find out what you mean... Best regards, Mel

Sounds like we might have enough interest for a new section(s). Wondering...should we have a seperate section for Haiku and Short Poems...or should we combine it?
