The fourth is (write your name here) that I posted just a little while ago. I really enjoy the economy of poetry and I often write these short poems for pleasure and discipline. It is great when one really sparkles.

I read something on Gulnaz's blog and something else on someone else's blog and the thing began to take shape. There was also something from your newest poem that struck me; anyway, somehow I ended up with this really compact, free form sonnet.
