Okay I know this is kind of silly...but I must confess the idea kept nagging at me until I wrote this down. Mayhap now that I've gotten it out of my system I can go back to writing in my usual style. To tell the truth though the creation of this piece was kind of funny. I was at work tonight and the boss came along and said he needed a piece ASAP. The word ASAP got me thinking about how language has become a collection of abbreviations. The idea then gave birth to this piece. Purposely I was trying to keep it as short as possible but still have some measure of rhyme and meter. After all I suppose poetry must reflect our need for abbreviation too. (Laughing out loud!) Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history! |

i once came across a one word haiku written by a "master" over one hundred years ago.... and while some of the people in my reading group all thought it was "stupid" .. i sat there thinking about how profound it really was. so do i think this is silly? :::shakes head::: nope. i do understand that you wrote it with a smile... and that's great! but i like that you stepped out of your comfort zone. :-D ok i'm done rambling. snow "yet each man kills the thing he loves |

Smiling on you. Your words are hiding in the archives... Actually, this IS quite profound. Considering the topic agencies of your poem, hiding seems MOST apropos. |
