My art work inspires my writing and vise versa.
I consider haiku as very challenging poetic form and became quite attached to it since it gives me the opportunity of putting together observations in essential and compressed shape. On my opinion, haiku is not something that could be written at any time and still be good. It has to be thought about; author needs to live with the idea for some time and to get the clue of the overall atmosphere before writing it down. Sometimes everything vanishes and absolutely new and fresh idea comes when I grab the paper. I also write haiku here and there without posting them; I use them for practice and rarely, as a reference.
To me, poetry writing is most perfected wordy expression of thoughts mankind has ever invented!
