  It may be a bunch of loose notes, or a string of haikus, I can't recall; I had said under Susan's comment, more or less, that the illustration wrapped up what I wanted to say as briefly as I could, but if I can find more for the poem, to include here, I'll post it or a new poem altogether and leave this one as is. more »

Sometimes the fewer the words, the more that is said! Also, a picture is worth... etc.

  I used prompts initially in the poem to get AIDA to produce dramatic imagery that I wanted to state in as few words as possible with my poem. The illustration adds depth to the main meanings of the poem. It kind of wraps it all up in one picture. I feel not everything in a poem has to be explicitly stated and being able to use images now for our poems here, to help promote an idea, makes it so much easier to make a good point without having to display as much with text. more »
