vertigo girl: an eclectic collection

​

haiku. those little poems of three lines, five syllables - seven - and five. worlds can be contained in those 17 syllables. snapshots of life. cats, seasons, emotions, poetry itself. what impact can such a seemingly small thing have? every ripple moves steadily outward, growing and reaching. serious or whimsical, each one speaks with its own voice.

she does interpretive dance

​

poets are said to bleed onto the page, and these sometimes whimsical and sometimes heart-wrenching inkblots continue in “she does interpretive dance.” this volume contains more of the haiku you've become familiar with in “vertigo girl,” but micropoetry and two-word poems make their debut. micropoetry is that very short verse you've seen in twitter and other such venues, and two-word poetry? it is a challenge, an exercise in contemplation, in letting your mind wander and be a partner in the creation of the poem. each one will be unique to you, and may even change over time, depending on your frame of mind.
