Not only "new" but old! At least that's the case for me. I'll have this image, a way of saying that simply begs to go free in one line because the syllable limits of 5 or 7 will NOT work no matter how hard the Muse and I toil. My brain will sweat with the effort. That may well be when I figure the poetry gods are saying, uh, girlfriend, we thought up monokus for a reason!
