I blogged about Tiny Poems here before, then today I read an interesting article on Nano-Poetics here at the PIW site, which says: "The miniaturisation process includes content: for example, the movement of poetry from a focus on gods or the privileged classes to that which deals with existential, practical matters and ordinary people. And it includes form: the switch from high registers to low, and from the serious to the comic."
The comic, see?! I was a nano-poet and I didn't know it but my feet showed it, they were Longfellows...(Eek. One of my Da's many, many jokes.) For me, nano-poetics also includes the found poem. Which is the category that the poem below falls into.
Anyway, what I am trying to say is that the PIW article reminded me that the Tiny Poems site said I could submit to them. So I did. And once again I have heard nothing. Since October. So once again I have decided to post one of my little nanos here. More to come!
