POEM'S PROGRESS ( via Haiku series )

A blank page staring
challenging me to fill it
with words of beauty

Mind searching for words
and thoughts to write in order
to form an image

Pen hand writes with care
to space and spell correctly
an eye-pleasing work

Then the moment comes
to share thoughts and words aloud
awaiting response

Style / type: 
Structured: Eastern
Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Review Request (Direction): 
What did you think of my title?
How does this theme appeal to you?
How was the beginning/ending of the poem?
Last few words: 
Seems I can't write Haiku without it being a series lol
Editing stage:

Perhaps this is the first time I am reading any Haiku written by you. But this is just lovely.

Stan,

I have recently started to enjoyed the challenge of Haiku...what seems simple on the face of it, ends up being a difficult task indeed.

I enjoyed these Haiku's, but you'll need to look at:

and phrases to write in order (1+2+1+1+1+2)

which has 8 syllables.

I noticed this last night and have been thinking of an alternative for you...many hours later, I have a solution of sorts:

Mind searching for words
and phrases to pen in line
to form an image

I have never written poetry before and had to count on my fingers!! Lol!

Sorry for finding the error, it wasn't my intention.

Cheers,

HS

With all that I am and all that I could be, I walk this earth, yet nobody sees me.

My semester of calculus apparently didn't prepare me for counting syllables lol. Thank You for finding this faut as it enables me to correct it....................scribbler

I also read his explanation of Haiku the other day.Just what Haiku needs : more restrictions lol. I expect "unique" can be interpreted as nobody else would do such. Always good to hear from you..................scribbler
