I think the poet (me in this case) should make up her mind what she is trying to say. But, I'm with you on short poems that say a lot in a few short words. Thank you for the comment and good luck with your haiku panel and workshop in Atlanta.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01825251724115541708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114341568105527452.post-34514333343994896272013-10-07T19:14:25.965-07:002013-10-07T19:14:25.965-07:00I love the ambiguity of "still".

I understood that the coyotes were still howl...Joy,<br />I understood that the coyotes were still howling at 4 AM. I liked how you made it short and to the point. I never thought of quiet stillness. I don't remember the syllable count required for haiku, but you could show a qualifier or music term in the last line, like piercing, etc. Think of the emotional factor you felt or your reaction to the noise. Maybe the poem is asking to be longer than a haiku. Keep at it!Linda A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16517546647672781332noreply@blogger.com
