    If anybody is familliar with William Carlos Williams and Imagist poetry, they will appreciate this attempt at it. Enjoy!

    Interesting. Is the idea just to paint a simple image?

    Precisley! Williams and his friend, Ezra Pound used this style in the 1900's They also were influential to Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg
