I have not tried either yet. I have been working on the pantoum which is tricky enough for me now. I especially like the last image poem with icicled-look. That is an amazing visual from which to start. Your accompanying haiku is wonderful (pale and wan). The pumpkin one is a hoot. I love the old postcards/photos of yesteryear. would you like to share those on my Abundant Autumn Gallery?Carol Varsalonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589714711155938528noreply@blogger.com
