Is it fact or merely fiction? Fact or Fiction explores the myths and beliefs we hold about what makes a good poem and the poetry rules that were made to be broken.
A BLUE HAIKU
In business, blue-ink pens are commonly used in contracts to distinguish between original documents and their copies. In school, depending on the type of paper one might be writing, a blue-ink pen may be required in order to prove that it is the original hand-written work of the true student in class and not of an associate from outside school life, a paid person, nor fellow schoolmate neither a friend. As black-ink is much easier to copy; and as such, most teachers are trained handwriting analysts almost like professional Handwriting Forensic Experts.

Mania
Thoughts racing thick and fast so fast I can’t keep up. I see and I observe and there’s nothing I can do but pace as excited energy trembles through my body. Lacking sleep for days I frantically stumble in my rush to... Do what exactly?Hurry hurry the tempo in my head sings must never slow down must never stop because slowing down means boring dreariness and we can’t have that! The dr says it’s time for meds and I brush him aside as I cry no no NO! Gotta keep momentum up up UP! I don’t WANNA lose my mojo I’m excited and impulsive and that brings adventure. What will it be next?Shopping sprees or painting houses?Running marathons and racing cars on open freeways?It’s always so much fun and I’m free falling from great heights, enjoying the air as I dive past! Oh no!Suddenly I’m plummeting, I start to feel sluggish and my limbs are made of lead “Whaa’s goin’ on?” I say as I find myself slurring words and aimlessly walking.
