Poems and Haiku
Haiku
I always say "Haiku chose me, I didn't choose haiku." I freeze like a deer in headlights when anyone asks me to write a haiku on the spot. I post my haiku to Twitter at @haikuoftheday
Poems
I tried writing metrical poetry with rhyme, but gave up in frustration. Even after reading and studying poetic meter, I just didn't have the ear for it, and it interfered with my poetry, so I gave up and started writing free verse. I am more comfortable with haiku, but once and a while I find myself writing a poem.
