ghost1150 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I absolutely love the Grand Canyon poem! I'm a huge fan of the southwest (hiked down from North Rim of GC in 04) and haiku. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherBrokenDoll Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I don't believe you need suffering to be a good poet. You need imagination. You don't have to write about yourself, but anyone, even that random young girl you walked past with no one beside her. Anything really. Either way i think your poem was good The small things can bring the best out in people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Bear Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Was "Jabberwocky" born of suffering? I doubt it. Your imagery gave me a quick smile; that should count for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brando Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Suffering isn't a prerequisite for wrting good poetry. It is hard work and determination, and a love of words and word play is also helpful. Great Haikus'. Check out Billy Collins, the man is a whip without suffering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
