Description: Short form appeals to a reader's imagination and goes across cultural barriers.
It disciplines the poet and requires the most precise choice of words in the same time leaving a good degree of pleasant ambiguity.
How to use a poetic toolbox – personification, extended metaphor, allusions, alliteration, repetition, rhyme, meter – in short form? Without a doubt it is a difficult question, however, it is well recognized that structure and patterns make a short poem esthetically pleasing.
I offer to your attention Sunku as a way to structure a short poem. In Sunku there are three stanzas, each consists of three lines with 2-3-4 syllabi per line. The level of connection between stanzas is up to a poet to decide.
Follow my blog entries for further development of the concept!

Hello Barbara,
Not sure about whether theological aspects appeal to me. But still the first stanza suggests that next you will be talking about things that are out of tune.
I am not sure what the second stanza is doing.
Do you really need to use a vomit metaphor?
The first stanza hints my lifestyle in tune with nature and the creator which ties in with the second stanza eat natural as vegetarian and vegan. Maybe I need to inculcate vegan message in their somehow. As for third stanza it sums up the previous two stanza in a way that denotes if i continue to eat the animals thus supporting their destruction the nature and its creator will vomit me out for lack of a better term. Any suggestions?
I work on it some to convey it better if it makes sense to you
It opened me up to a new way of writing. I like change but don’t handle change very well. I’m such an introvert that anything outside my weirdness is difficult.
