Area 17 said...: mind-fox, very Ted Hughes.

Ted's was a meta-poem, did you have the same idea?

Frank... said...: Thanks for dropping by & commenting Alan. A friend told me recently that my haiku was very Ted Hughes but when I wrote it I wasn’t consciously aware of the connection. Our minds can sometimes play tricks on us and creatures etc. can appear to metamorphose before our eyes. Maybe there is a bit of the meta-poet in all haiku poets?
