Hey guys! Long time no see!!
I'm just doing a quick post on a
poetry reading that I went to a few weeks ago. It was poems by John
Snyder, world-renowned for his Haiku. (if you've read my other posts you
know that I love Haiku!!) He read Haiku and other forms of poetry.
Here's a bio:
John R Snyder's haiku have achieved international
recognition. He was an invited poet at the 2004 World Haiku Festival in
the Netherlands, where he won first place in the festival competition.
His haiku, senryu, renku and longer lyrical poems have appeared
in publications around the world, including the USA, England, Romania.
France, the Netherlands, and Japan. He has served as a section editor
for the World Haiku Review and has twice been a featured poet at the Austin International Poetry Festival.
I
thought it was amazing. how he had SUCH a large vocabulary. I mean, he
used words that I would never even thought of or heard of. Here's one of
his Haiku:
open windows –
from the garden I can hear
the neighbor’s long shower
I LOVE this poem!!! He is a great poet!
bye 4 now!!
