What is Micropoetry? Micropoetry not really Haiku or Tanka, nor does it fit the structure of minimal poetry. Its becoming very popular in our micro world we live. Its a lot of fun and and a great creative stimuli

Its usually done in about 140 characters or less, or about 20 words. Well we currently dont count characters in a post ..so if you go over a few no problem but do your best to keep it close to the 140, after all thats its purpose and as its name implies - Micropoetry

Also this is a reply only foum. Please do not start a new topic, just click "Reply" and write your micropoem, then post. Title is always Micropoetry.

Happy MicroFun

love can not be found
love finds you

soon the master mind
will awaken

This is Not a Title (after Magritte)

The breeze,
a bite of strawberry,
your face
a new sun.

140 <--Not a title. A word count (Go ahead, count 'em...I dare ya.)No. Ya gotta count ALL the characters. Punctuation included.

  i counted 160 maybe 161 ..you have to count the spaces too

     

[cafeRg]

i want to
slide my naked hand
over your silky skin

feel your warmth
and the rhythm of your heart

Where did America go
many talk
love peace compassion
but don't do the walk
just talk
blah blah
Where did America go

I cried
I played
I walked the line, as I aged
I learned
Time plays its famous game
Last pages quickly filled
I wake, I play
I reflect
I wait
9-9-11

  i counted 160 maybe 161 ..you have to count the spaces too

[cafeRg]

Change
redefine left & right
equality for all
you are the solution
occupy it

[Lady SunShine]

this is cool RG there is a place in word under
view - then tool bars - click on word count -
it also gives you the option to count with/or without spaces
so if you ever need just a word count you can do that also
have fun
