THE apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough.

Can anyone give me a good Barbelith thesis.

Uh, would you like to tell us what you think of it first, and why you'd like to discuss it?

I'm sure you're not asking us to do your homework for you ...

And while you're at it, could you please add a summary to your topic. You can do so by clicking on the "edit topic" link.

er no not asking for any homework help, just opinions on the Haiku.

If you read some other threads on the board, you'll see that usually the thread starter puts a bit of effort into starting a thread. It's courteous to take the time to offer some opinions yourself before expecting anyone else to do the same.

Do you like the poem?
Why?
Have you read other work by Pound?
What did you think of it, and how does it inform your reading of this poem?
Do you like haiku generally?
How would you compare this poem to traditional haiku?
