A CAIRN OF MICROPOETRY is a metaphor that evokes a clear image for those familiar with both cairns and micropoetry.
A Cairn of Micopoetry is a collection of very short impactful poems featuring haiku • senryu • cinquain • gogyoshi • and free verse. Like stones in a cairn, each micropoem is distinct yet contributes to a larger whole.
John Keats
The poetry of the earth is never dead.
The crown of literature is poetry. Maugham
Spring has returned. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart. Rainer Maria Rilke
Every poet finds their own muse – the irresistible figure that draws the artist (author, writer) toward the light of creativity. To some, muse is a guardian spirit or force who is a source of inspiration for creativity.
Write me a poem. Write me several poems. A muse me. — N’Zuri Za Austin
Poetry has been around for thousands of years. Like other forms of literature, poetry is written to share ideas, express emotions, and create imagery.
