Untitled poem by Paul Smith
I enjoy the tanka and haiku poetry of Paul Smith at Paper Moon. This form of verse is deceptive; it looks easy to write but is, in fact, very difficult. There is great skill in capturing a moment with a limited number of words:

Thanks for this bazza, it works so well with the photograph. I'm so happy that my words reach out and in some small way colour the world.
what a wonderful gift to click through and discover Paul's poetry. I'm so happy I did.
(and thank you so much for the link too... how incredibly kind)
Paul: If you vist Joanne's site you will see an excellent pairing of photos and words. I'm pleased to be able to help spread the word!(See her comment, next)
Joanne: You site has become even better in it's new format.
It was my pleasure to post the link.
Greetings bazza,
I have only recently discovered the joys of tanka and haiku poetry.
Paul Smith, whose site I just checked, is indeed a master of these simple yet elaborate forms of poetry.
I also consider Joanne Rose's site a visual and verbal delight.
Well done to the both of them and thank you for bringing these good folks to my attention. I shall link into their sites as a source of personal inspiration.
Respect, your way, Gary.
I have to agree....the haiku is striking.
Lovely poem - those short forms are very challenging. Thanks for the links, I shall investigate further!
Rob: It's the kind of thing you can read over and again and each time there is a frisson of pleasure.
Joanne: Yes, I thought it might appeal to you. One is glad to spread the word!
Careful Bazza; using words like 'frisson' we might begin to think you're going all intelectual on us.
I knew some poems once old boy, you know. In the navy it was - couldn't repeat any of them here though.
Tally Ho!
Simple and memorable. I'll check out more of Paul's work.
Sir Tom: Sorry Sir Tom, I lost sight of my audience there for a moment!
Kelly: I believe we guys must be getting in touch with our feminine sides sometimes!
I came over and received a gift of words and beauty. After work, I will check out Paul Smith's work at Paper Moon and view the photographs of Joanne Rose.
If this beautiful pairing is an example then I am in for a big treat.
lifeshighway, welcome. Joanne shows her own photos and her own words!
I have matched this picture with Pauls words. Thanks for looking in, please come back soon!
Loved that! Thank you...
