A & Q
A & Q
Don’t be afraid to let your poems be smarter than you are. Heard from Naomi Sihiab Nye
One way
to learn to dance
is counting the steps,
but scaffolding doesn’t make
cinquains.
five seven five
has nothing to do with
the art of haiku
Once you have crossed
the river, do you carry
a bridge with you?
Does form follow function
or vice-versa?
Can you let the poem decide?

I like the backwards/turned upside down approach! Wise words in the epitaph – Yes, let the poem decide!
