Haiku - The Life Poem by M. Asim Nehal

(CONT.) 3 - i don't care for symbolism, but i guess the poem must be meant to be symbolic for its topic: life, saying 'life' is ever-changing. maybe senryu aka ‘human haiku’ would be a more appropriate name of the poetic form used. (?) bri (:

2 - INTERESTINGLY: We have seen that the Oxford English Dictionary contains 171,476 words in current use, whereas a vocabulary of just 3000 words provides coverage for around 95% of common texts. AND I BET i, bri, know at least 150 of them! ! ! ok, there must be over 50-100 different words used in this comment. so maybe i know 200! ! ? (CONT.)

1 - i 'knew' this word, but i did NOT know its definition! : e•phem•er•al /əˈfem(ə) rəl/ adjective adjective: ephemeral 1. lasting for a very short time. fashions are ephemeral synonyms: transitory, transient, fleeting, passing, short-lived, momentary, brief, short; temporary, impermanent, short-term; fly-by-night (CONT.)
