Garnering complete elucidation within the untrammeled confines of several exceptional poetic lines most certainly deserves validation Does brevity confine poetic thought not if readers have a vivid imagination Comprehension is found where sought Three lines can be a brilliant summation Poetry is shadows that come to light The tears trickling down from my eyes My emotions escaping in sorrowful sighs Easing burdens and healing scars as I write

I agree with Kim's words...writing is healing and often provides catharsis for the writer and for those who identify with or relate to the written poem. The length of the poem matters not...it's the connection made for both writer and reader. Well said. Have to fave this one! Have a great evening, hugs, Sara

It's a conduit for our emotions to spill out onto a page to share with the outside world, sometimes sad, sometimes happy. Great writing Lin. Tom

Yes, Tom it is. Good thing we don't have to buy ink these days! Seriously, thank you for so many grand comments you leave for my poetry.

Great write. Why the good poems have sad undertoen? I guess no one writes happy poems.

I write all kinds of poetry, Jay. You've read enough of mine to know I can be as ridiculously silly with a Limerick as I go dark and deep with maudlin poems. Thanks for your many visits.

Lovely all the way through! There is catharsis in writing and yes, a brilliantly written haiku and a reader’s good eye, perspective, experience, and all, can enhance a ku to great heights. Faving!

There is for many of us, Kim. Sometimes a mere three or four lines can say more than one of Sonnet length. I'm glad you also appreciate brevity. Thank you.
