In continuation of my literary inquisition of haiku poetics, using short form in efforts to expand the breath of my expressions; this journey coupled with the studies of literary aesthetics and concision of Matsu Basho has been quite spiritually rewarding.  I must admit, this commitment to writing daily has been a challenge, since I was previously a write when I feel kind of poet…a few things:

• Flow factor of the 17-syllables
• Playing with natural metaphors
• Improvised and focused thought
• the injection of spiritual and or memories in short breath form
• braving the challenge of brevity

on that note this post

has reached its expressive breath
