Haiku for the Loquacious

Give my friend Stacy McKnight a challenge — "write a haiku" — and watch what she does!

curtailed by the meters chain.

brevity is not for me!

I am loquacious.

 

slave, toil, suffer

emotion labored,

meaning lost to rule.

 

but is it just me?

despairing of the right word,

constrained by the form.

 

yes! it is just me,

the aesthetic of

occident not orient

 

for the right poet

strictures are inspiring,

resulting in art!

 

 

Thanks to Stacy for her creativity and poetry. There's more haiku fun to follow!
