Haiku

I have made some attempts at Haiku and I think I really enjoy this particular style. AT first it seemed a rather large and impossible task to even attempt, but I really enjoy the process and the thought that has to go into each Haiku. I will really want to revise several of my poems at this point especially after having gotten into more of the reading. I never realized all of the elemnts that poetry really has to offer. Poetry is much more sensory, and I really enjoy making a meal of these words.

On another note, I was reading about dialogue in Bird by Bird and I really took alot from that chapter. It is true that when you don't "feel" a characters voice it ruins the book. I hate being disappointed by characters. When you are enticed by the internal thoughts it is unbearable to realize that the character is a mere shadow of what you thought and it takes every perception you had and preformed notion of where the story is going and flushes it straight down the pot.
I really think this will be important when writing scripts.
