DO THE SEASONS ANGER!? Arching as tigers Guard lines of demarcation Winter waits for you *****Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I do enjoy them, albeit only in small doses!. I am not a fan of form poetry, so it is difficult to spend too much time with something that I can't help but hear, in my head, with an archaic voice!. I don't have a problem with haiku written in English, though it is a Japanese form!. If I spoke Japanese, I think I would still enjoy a sestina, or sonnet!. The language doesn't matter as much to me, just the feelings expressed and the resonance, or echo I feel!. I am little confused by the word "as" in this piece!.
