Frogpond 34.3 • Autumn 2011 (pdf) - Haiku Society of America

of a one-line haiku: another example being “lapwings wheel in
the distant thunderain” from Acorn 25. These differ somewhat
from Nick Virgilio’s“weirds,” which generally blended words
of disparate meaning to create minimalist one-word poems.
My intention is for the coined word to enhance both sound
and meaning, and hopefully be more evocative in isolation
and in he context of the haiku than the single words would
have been had they been combined in a conventional manner.
