POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write mainly poetry for the inner journey. I also have a feisty side-line of writing poetic commentaries on the war industry and politics & culture. "When power corrupts, poetry cleanses" (JFK, Oct 1963)

On Poetic Forms, Nr.07 (Haikus & Senryus: Theory & Practice)
HAIKUS & SENRYUS - THE THEORY
Fitting seventeen
syllables, five-seven-five,
in three lines is diffic hard.
{NB: Haikus tend to make some mention of Nature; Senryus are more about human nature. I think the example below touches on both, so am not sure which one to call it}
HAIKUS/SENRYUS - THE PRACTICE
The Bounty
Captain walks the plank.
Mutineers wonder: what next?
Pitcairn Island waits.
