tonyv Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Very nice! I hope you wrote the letter with a fountain pen! (The chicks dig that; it's more meaningful that way). ;) My own unsent letters are sitting in the drafts folder of various email clients.

badger11 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Over on the sideboard, leaning on the picture frame, sits a letter waiting to be posted. Nice one rumi, a picture within a picture, that implies a narrative beyond the moment. badge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandra Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Good shot here, rumi. I like how simple this piece is. But not meaningless. It says much, in many ways. I like it.

rumisong Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 thank you all-- I realized after I wrote it, where the inspiration came from well, of course it was because Tink was teaching us about the"wheelbarrow" form, which I really liked as an "americanized" haiku form-- but what I mean to say is, I think in the back of my mind, I had the opening credits of THIS tv show in mind-- has anyone here seen it? one of my fav's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waxwings Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Yes, I have seen the series, and your interpretation, in summary, of it is elegan. Even much more so that the poem works both with and in spite of the disjointed stanza breaks. I am keeping an enlarged copy on my wall.
