Poems for Life, Poems for Death
For anyone who remembers my blog about how I write poetry (https://www.nocturnalmind.net/the-streetlight/limitation-in-poetry/): I’ve recently had an obsession with haikus. Both of these poems started out with a basic haiku format, which I later tweaked / stretched out slightly. The first poem was inspired by my joy in receiving fresh flowers (and my later despair), and the other was inspired by my Valentine <3 I'm debating putting together a chapbook in this style--maybe, in the style of "Roses," something about nature? — C.M.
