spring haiku, quantity 1, date: 2017-03-22

[Lizzie]

I liked "new." Version 2 is my favorite.

Yeah, you're right, there's nothing that says "new" better than "new".
That word is the absurdly simple (and profound) heart of the poem.
So... rev 5 it is.

"Just for the record: I use a very limited vocabulary in all my poems; common words,
mostly single syllable and hardly ever three. I do this because I like the aesthetic simplicity it
lends to the poem. Using simple words, by the way, does not limit you to simple concepts."
