[Curtis Gale Weeks]

Thanks, Lee, for confirming my suspicions. I didn't title it "Butterfly Rondeau Haiku" because my process when writing it favored some aspects of the rondeau over haiku, for the general structure, although I also wanted those breaks between image-idea/statement to play a haiku-ish role.

I have a few observations and questions on haiku in general, will post them over in the Haiku Form? thread, but will say here that I appreciate your contributions over the last few days; they've been quite instructive and valuable for my understanding of haiku.

Patricia, I've always wanted to experiment more with the combined form, haven't yet taken that leap. I'm glad you like the revised lines--a few other areas might get revised before I set the poem aside forever...
