The Po

A brilliant, very talented artist came up with the po, and introduced me to it herself.

A po basically a very short poem (2-4 lines, 5 under duress) which expresses one idea (or interlocking ideas) as concisely and poetically as possible. Here's one I wrote about insensitive, taking friends:

you share your pain
'cause I'm the other
you hurt me
'cause you can't feel mine

That's the po. Sometimes when I want to write about something(s), I write many unrelated pos about it(them), which I later massage together into a new, long poem.

Thanks N.
