poetry ... seriously

C. and I have been talking about poetry over the last few days and he sent me a ton of his to read. I have read bits and pieces and I actually like it which is quite a feat to accomplish because poetry and me have never really been friends. Yesterday, he told me to give it a try, start with something fairly simple, namely the haiku.

Now, with sixty-six under my belt, I'll move on to tanka and see how that works out for me. It's actually a lot of fun. And from reading some of his tuff, I leaned something really, really cool: it doesn't have to be complicated and convoluted. It can be fairly easy and about the silliest things. I'll probably post some sooner or later.
