Nice to meet another NZ Japanese verse form poet. Have you tried classical Chinese poetry at all?
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your poems, Anne. I don't know classical Chinese poetry. Any suggestions, Maureen?
ReplyDeleteAnne,
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I enjoyed reading these, especially the last two as they showed a lot of compassion. I don't know any Chinese forms either, perhaps you'd like to give a description of one to try, Maureen?
Your friend,
