It forces you to be concise rather than meandering, and to be creative in finding a specific word that suits both your meaning and the demands of the form. Applying these skills makes any poem, formal or free-verse, better.Sandra Larkinhttp://www.successwithsandralarkin.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266151532403601584.post-63369103306830264202011-06-01T23:58:16.202-04:002011-06-01T23:58:16.202-04:00This article is very informative.

I've found if I write in that format often, my thoughts just seem to drift into haiku.<br /><br />Also, saw your blog (looks good!), but Blogspot froze up before I found your haiku.Mary Saylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08709628386233742459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266151532403601584.post-92194281884001775682011-05-18T14:36:46.881-04:002011-05-18T14:36:46.881-04:00Nice information.
