mystery

voices in the dark

back door, front door, next door

paint chips off in your hand

random as an idea

This conjures up so many images, as randomly placed as an idea :))
The beauty of your poem is its simplicity!

Thanks for the great comments, Pins! I've been meaning to do some more experimentation with this form. It is interesting but the strokes must be just right or the poems don't work at all.

Chipped paint and thoughts seem to fit well together!! Good one!!

So much implied in so few words. Well done.

Thanks Aurora! Images can really compress information. Your last love poem was a knock-out,BTW! I glad you liked this.

Thanks Sue! The closer I get to a minimalist Langpo poem, the more I'm returning to the haiku. Glad you liked it!

Hi russell,

This one is really great, the suspense is superb and it leaves so much for the imagination to fill in. Take care,

Bob
