Nice... I like how you have the mind of the reader extend your word 'del' to the acutal word delete in their mind... thereby creating a rhyming of it with 'shieet'...

and so... In honor of all those who ramble on and on... and rarely get to the point... or overdue the point...

can you tell me the basic rules? so i dont offend any one whit my ignorance

No rules to poetry... Like no rules to love... Your free form poetry was great.

Voyager and I were just sharing creative HaiKu poetry format with each other... Poetry can come in any form and any cadence... any style... like the millions of different styles of musical expression.

But if one wants to express creative prose (Poetry) in a old Asian structured format (many Japanese especially are fond of this format) they can choose to do it in the formal 5/7/5 Creative Haiku Format... known around the world.

Which is...

Formal Haiku Structure... A 3 Line Poetic Expression of Any Nature.

First Line: 5 Syllables / Second Line: 7 Syllables / Third Line: 5 Syllables.

With the first two lines (usually) being the mental setup and the last line (usually) being the punch line /shock line /humor line / the oh my line/the elegant line... Its the revelation line.

For example... Here is a new 5/7/5 Formal Haiku...

Time Is Eternal
Infinity Of Lifetimes
Don’t Be Late Today…

So the first line 5 Syllables (Time (one syllable)... Is (one syllable)... Eternal (3 syllables)) so 1 +1 +3 = 5 syllables

Second Line 7 syllables (Infinity (4 syllables)... Of (one syllable)... Lifetimes(2 syllables) so 4 + 1 + 2 = 7 syllables

Third Line 5 syllables (Don't (one syllable)... Be (one syllable)... Late (one syllable)... Today (two syllables) so 1+1+1+2 = 5

Thus the 5 - 7 - 5 format.

Its just a way to blend Yin Poetry (Creativity, Expansive, Inspiring -- Prose Energy) with Yang Structure (a locked format of 5-7-5)... putting a circle within a square within a circle... etc.

Check Google for info on the Haiku format... and here is link to syllable count website of any word or combo of words you want to use... To count you number of syllables in any line... https://www.howmanysyllables.com/syllable_counter/

But even this formal Haiku format has evolved over the past centuries... and their are Haiku formats that are of different count.

Anyway... Its just a fun way of putting elegance or prose or creativity or inspiration or humor or pathos into a formal structure which forces you to be creative and disciplined at the same time... which is a kind of inner rush... tying both sides of the brain together to produce a creative result... something greater than the whole.

T'was rumored that that many Japanese Samurai (martial artists ?) would compose a last Haiku before battle so they would center themselves, calm their mind and also leave something behind in case they did not return.

Play with it... It is just a tool of creativity... It Lets off Creative Steam... But all Poetry Is Just Creativity Disguised In Words.

"I Create Therefore I Am" --- is as good as any other prose shared and there is no structure there except simplicity.

A Sure Footing

the world takes on a different shape
when its time to awake

no familiar sun or moon
& daylight ends too soon

visions of eternity

on the edge of an imaginary space
yet still today they run the race

toward the folly of a fool
six billion crank the tool

from the science books of darwinian creation
they claimed to form our nation

the truth is hidden in plain sight
to see it you must reclaim your might

and throw the race...of insecurity





I wanted to write a poem about this for a while so I sat down, held the pencil and it just came out.

today everyone is poor
and that makes them always want more
the resson for this is sure
our leader is a whore
rotten to the core

time to settle the score

The 'poor' will become rich when they change their minds
but it takes time
to change a paradigm


Here is a good place to start: The Science Of Getting Rich

While pondering the Fe(ore some 4,000 miles below Spaceball Earth;
by kneeling down and sticking my head in the sand no Fe(ore could be seen;
without loosing faith in what could not be seen Science theory has rescued me.

Theoretical Science this Hollywood plot
Where Nuclear Physics cost the graduate a lot
To see an Electron removed from the Atom was not
Part of the curriculum where Fission Reaction was taught

They say this Nuclear energy is the destroyer of worlds
Where the Nuclear waste is stored up in hordes
The Half-Life to kill for one million years
Only time heals the Radioactive fear
