Simply Poetry and Art

<p>Simply Poetry and Art relishes the union of poems with colorful paintings also called haiga as well as just poems also called haiku. Haiku is a fascinating kind of poetry bringing more than conciseness to a moment's expression. Where a painting is said to speak a thousand words haiku attempts a thousand words in three short lines. The impossibility is more a guide to help freedom find precision...to say just enough to make the space in between become a part of the whole expression. Haiku is meant to be ruminated...to read and re-read one poem at a time...so that each read can bring new insights. And when a painting includes a poem words and brush strokes begin to blend as if one might belong to the other. Come enjoy the wonders of haiku and haiga.</p>
