Thanks for the comments and for visiting us again. I agree that "if they are rendered in one-line, there should be something in structure or content compelling form." I continue to see more and more one-liners and there seems to have less and less reason for their divergence from the 3-line format. As someone who hopes to help the general public learn to appreciate "real" haiku, one-liners seems to be a detriment. Hi, Don. Thanks for the comments and for visiting us again.

My frogpond reached the upper mid-west yesterday. Recalling your dialogue with w.f. owen about haiku rendered in one line, I was looking for an increase in one-liners here and elsewhere. Some appear. Some of course, work better than others. On the whole, are you seeing an increase in number or quality of one-line poems? If they are rendered in one-line, there should be something in structure or content compelling form. I guess I will continue to experiment and watch. Thanks for the forum. David,
