a note about the poems

Most of the short ones are written in a minute or less by way of a daily writing exercise. Not all are haiku, but most are. Because haiku are supposed to be written about a moment, that's what I try to do. Sometimes the ideas I get don't really correspond to moments. Those poems are not haiku. I don't know whether this exercise really improves my writing, but it does make it easier to write haiku quickly.

Every now and then I put a longer poem in here. Some are reprints and some are not. All of them take longer than a minute to write!
