Here is a recent poem
Fog
Chases Me
Up Mountain
And through Forests.
It Covers the Moon
Just as I reach my Door

I thought the poetry form was called Esteree, but I couldn't find it in THE GOOGLE, but it adds one syllable for every line for as long as the poem goes on.

2. I really like this poetry form
it pares everything to its essence.

I thought it was called Esteree; so named for the woman who created it. It adds one syllable per line, giving it a cadence with out the iambic pentameter form.

I composed this on my way home from the coast as the evening fog was rolling in.

Thanks for acknowledging me. I read your poetry often.

I like your poem, BNL. :)

4. I like it.
A very nice poem.Simple and direct yet paints a vivid picture.
For some reason the form reminds me of Hiaku.I know they are completely differant forms but yet it still invokes imagery like hiakus do for me.
