MicroPoetry - Haiku Poems - Original 

MicroPoetry is the new rage in the art of Poetry!

A fast power punch! That is what I call it.  You don't write your MicroPoetry because you are bored and trying to kill some time.  It's something you must write, it practically explodes on the page.   No time to get flowery or worry about your audience, just get it out their in all it's intensity.  

Let Me Talk
by J. Bishop

I think I could go 12 years without talking
Would you notice?... it won't be long until we see
As it has been over 12 years
Since you stopped talking about you
And asked about me.

This poem just sent in:

Shock
by Mark Morgan

fleeting lightning flash
pulsing veins crack the darkness--
epiphany

This and another one of Mark Morgan's poems will be on our website shortly.  Links to this page and our site are later on in this blog.  Let's give some support to this awesome new artist!

Okay~~Quiz Time!~~~

What do the following three posters have in common?





















True it can be found on our micropoetry page, but the answer is so much more!























Yes, it's true you can share these from our Facebook page.  And???
















Also true, this one is technically not a poem, but it was submitted by a poet and fan of Poems and Quotes Finder Facebook page.  And your final answer??? do,do,do,do,do,do (to the tune of Jeopardy Game Show, of course).


Pop Quiz Answers:

The above posters where original poems or quotes submitted by poets like yourself.  Poets who have a great voice and are waiting for a place to shine.

You have the voice and we have the space!  We are now taking submissions!

So tell me, do you feel lucky, poet?

Finally got to say that. Mark that off my bucket list!

  1. This my first time to your blog and I am really enjoying it. Poetry, as a genre of writing, is so intimidating to me. I might just be able to handle micropoetry! :)
