Enjoyed this post. My favorite micro poem: Sky walkers / produce suspenseful / sidewalk art
Very glad you enjoyed the post, LuAnne.
Btw, the micro poem form is a ‘lune’ or ‘American haiku,’ 3/5/3 syllables per line instead of 5/7/5,
Sometimes less is more. ; )
Good to know! I like it and will play around with it. Excellent. Thanks for sharing that bit of info. I have been collecting poetic forms for a while. Another to add to my collection.
