Perhaps one day (far in the future) I will try to put the dying experience into 17 syllables.

I like that. :-) Linda Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16056682992943171805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-60350530732000146732015-01-19T15:25:16.833-07:002015-01-19T15:25:16.833-07:00Love this piece, Kim!

The funny thing is, I started out writing poetry only. Poems came easily. It was like learning a language, I "thought" in poetry. Once I started writing fiction and nonfiction, I stopped writing poetry and I have lost the facility of the language. On another note, one of the great things about self-publishing, is the return of poetry and short story collections. And, as you noted, you can have bound copies of your work for your family to enjoy.Diana Hurwitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18216220574149672733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-27776896772293150672015-01-19T09:10:24.919-07:002015-01-19T09:10:24.919-07:00Thanks, Liza.

I love my dog too, and I especially love ghostwriting for him because he has such a snarky personality and always says exactly what he thinks -- like today he took issue with my haiku about sheep.

I have dabbled a bit with poetry, finding it a good exercise in concise writing, but have never tried haiku. I remember visiting your website before and being impressed by your verses. And I love your dog.Maryannwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479027709233807149noreply@blogger.com
