The Minimalist

what the body is thinking 
at the cliff, at the forehead 
	of laughter 
in the flower 
in the mouth

At first glance I thought you were trying to write English haikus. Then, when I read it a second time, I verified my mistake and I realized that your change of style is due–or so I think–to the fact that you are a person shaped by search and perseverance. However, it is still an intellectual adventure to try to give an aesthetic depth to poetic sublimity. 🙂

  Thank you, J. You are correct. In this poem, I am motivated by a desire to try something new. I think you are also right when you suggest that, in life, I am a person shaped by search and perseverance. I hope my poetry will always reflect that. 🙂
