Hi, I've just joined! You say you want to include 3-word haiku. I don't understand this - do you mean haiku with a five-syllable word, a seven-syllable one and nother five? That sounds quite restrictive!
Thank you guys, for running this awesome group. I'm glad I stumbled over you, cause it was a very inspiring moment, since it was my first time to meet the fascinating field of MicroPoetry/Prose. Today I uploaded my first bunch of 'RandomWords' And I'm looking forward to have more creative flashes through my brain in the future :)
I can't wait for the one word poem folder to open up!!! :D
And how would that work, exactly?
Exactly as much as your two-word poem idea. :D

Maybe use italics and bold type on different letters/syllables in the word to really bring out the meaning? :)
:trollface: Your false sincerity almost rings true; I give you props on your mastery of the art of trolling. And at such a young age, as well.

And I'm genuinely sorry that you can't perceive the value in this literary experiment. You see three words and think, "Anyone can do that. Hell, even I can do that!" What you don't see is the care that goes into choosing just the right three words to convey a message that is greater than the sum of its individual parts.

You're still at the point in your own journey where you're convinced that less is less and more is more, that the secret to a good poem is to cram in as much as possible. One day you'll discover that, as with photography, writing often benefits from having less distracting clutter and a sharper focus.

Until that time, however, find another place to play. :banned:

He was being sarcastic. None of these are actual "poems", just words slapped together and then labeled poetry. This isn't poetry, it's words.
