While I am doing the Collected Poets links for the various challenges, I would like to know what you want to happen when you click the links.
This would begin with Décima Challenge 15 Poets Collected.
(I’ve already started the Haiku Challenge Collected for this week.)
Please use the poll form to give your answer.
It doesn’t require any information, just click your preference.
(I tested it.)
Please visit the other entries with links in the comments of the challenge post. They deserve the attention and admiration.
For my Weekly Haiku Challenge. Please join in and add to the family. If you haven’t written a Haiku before, click HERE and there is also a link on that “how to” post that links to instructions on other types of Haiku you might enjoy, such as a Haibun, which is great, because you write a paragraph about something, maybe a nice memory, then you write a Haiku that tells that story in three lines.

Pain of life one leads,
Does not wither but exceeds.
Given winds of change,
My mind turns and twists, derange.
Torn ‘tween will and want,
What is it I can’t, I don’t?
Cowed by maddened, dim lit eyes,
Failure I despise.
I yearn arms embrace,
But fate voids every trace.
Feelings remain deep,
I spurn my foe, night thief sleep.
To the sun promise may rise,
Reason for these tear filled eyes.

My love is a lump,
A cause for heart’s gasps for breath,
Consumes all my thoughts.
Hello everyone. Today I’m introducing something I believe is new. A normal poem followed by a Haiku that sums up the poem. I am calling this a Freku at this time. Write a normal poem, if you wish, followed by a Haiku that sums up the poem. Free verse plus Haiku equals Freku.
Can you take a poem and then sum it up in three lines of Haiku? Or perhaps the other way around? Look for an article (NEW FORM of Haiku & Poetry) coming soon to explain in more detail but I think this section covers it.
For mine I attempted a 5-7-5-7 for the first stanza, repeat for the next two, but at the end I include two more 7-7. And to wrap it all up I created a Haiku that sums up the poem.
I wrote a normal poem first then worked it down to the 5-7-5-7 patterns. That was as a challenge to myself.
