Haiku is a beautiful art form. At its best it is profound, moving, and evocative. All this is achieved with an artful economy of words. But does it go far enough? Is it not simply an expression of yearning; for a higher, purer, more quintessential expression of the poetic art?
The wait for the Transcendent Form is now over! The Muse has come, and a new genre of poetry is born!
I present to you, for your delectation, the world-wide debut of:
Emoti-Poetry: Poetry Without Words. 
Love The One You’re With: An Emoti-poem.

Just when I thought I’d seen it all. This was very original and entertaining and I think I actually followed the “story” of the poem.
Hi Marianne,
I’m relieved… now I can say that some people ‘get it’.
Thanks for making my day. I shall now go and lie down, and say ‘wibble’ a lot, quietly.
TJ, you truly are an original
Wow! Thanks Anne, that’s a really lovely thing to say…
Wait a minute… I’m a truly original what?
Well thats just knackered me. I can’t read it other than guesswork. I have better luck reading anglo saxon.
Hi Gareth, I’m sorry to hear that I shorted out your neurons.
I do like your suggestion of trying poetry in different forms, so could you please send me the first instalment of your “Learn Ancient Languages by Finger-painting” correspondence course. Thank you.
Wow TJ! That was emotional and brilliant! You have a wonderful way with emoticons (words). Maybe that should have been called Emo-poetry! LOL That is very creative and I’m still in awe at how your mind works. Lovely stuff!
Thanks Pat, I appreciate your kind words.
I’m still in awe that my mind works at all!
