Day 17: Person, I Love You by My Dreams up Close on Apr 18, 2011See now, how much I have cost you; Indeed, I do, but I cannot regret Questioning where we were going— Unyielding, uninterested— Except the fact I didn't mind Much as long as you still loved me.   In time I knew to know much wrong:   Le...

Day 12: A Diagonal Haicrostic by My Dreams up Close on Apr 13, 2011If you think a sestina is hard, think again. I've been tinkering with the diagonal acrostic form and mashed it with my haicrostic idea and I've invented a completely different, and somewhat more difficult form: The Diagonal Haicrostic!

Day 8: Today we Stand Up by My Dreams up Close on Apr 9, 2011I am in the works of a diagonal haicrostic.

Farewell NaPoWriMo 2010! by My Dreams up Close on Apr 30, 2010To every one of us poets who celebrated NaPoWriMo (and even just NaPoMo), congratulations. In our own little ways, we became part of this big (well, relatively big) event. Most of us read. Most of us wrote. But the bottom line is, we've learned to ap...

On Dragons and War by My Dreams up Close on Apr 24, 2010When I was a young kid, I loved dragons.
