GIRL ON A TRAIN... THE BURIED GIANT... THE GREAT GATSBY ... AND ROBERT FROST?
From Girl on a Train to Robert Frost...I recently wrote a few haiku reviews... a great exercise in writing. Some are reactions to what I read, others are refractions of characters (i.e. the pool cleaner in Gatsby is in my imagination, not the novel's pages). Here goes...
For The Girl on a Train���
WOMAN ON A METRO
On a metro car:See or hear nothing, feel less.Days of driving rain.
For The Buried Giant��� FOREVER TODAY
No past, no future���misted memories, but allconnect, remember?
For The Great Gatsby���
THE POOL CLEANER
I cleaned the swim pool��� after cops fished Gatsby out���more work, no more pay.
For The Collected Poems of Robert Frost���
A LOST WRITER
I don���t know these woods���what crossroad to travel now���lead me there, poet.
Have you ever tried a haiku review?
���Caroline Bock is the author of the critically acclaimed
young adult novels: BEFORE MY EYES (St. Martin���s Press, 2014) and LIE (St.
Martin���s Press, 2011).
