I love poetry and I do write it in a paper book with my beloved fountain pens. I rarely have the nerve to do it online because I DO long for the discipline of a formal form. But I seem unable to grasp the intricacies describing those forms.

I feel rather a moron, as nothing except haiku is clear enough for me to grasp. And I am sure a Japanese purist would despise my efforts there as well because of the traditional constraints.
