I am an imagist poet,in 2009, I labelled an anonymous trochiac monometer* as a Footle,(a 2 line/2 syllable couplet,with an integral title,light hearted,witty in theme) and promoted widely on the internet thereafter. *FLEAS Adam/ad'em.My Spaces form,is an Imagist offshoot of the original concept created by Gael Turnbull,the Scottish poet in 1967 In addition to my interest in short-form imagist poetry( Monoku,Crystalline,American doublet,Lanterne,Cinqku,American cinquain etc) I recite and post my longer poetry to youtube under my pen name ichthyschiro.

I am the wave of the ocean,
I am the murmur of the billows,
