Form poetry can be a challenge to writers, especially those forms that are very close in style. Much of the work included here are forms the author has been experimenting with; some successfully and some straying a little bit away from the rigidity of the established form. The image that is portrayed and the emotions transferred from writer to reader are what makes a poem art. P. A. T. Larson has challenged herself by writing and comparing various forms of poetry. Living close to nature has helped since some of the recognized brief poetry forms have nature themes. After publishing her first book, Touch of Topaz, she compiled some of her more structured work for this book.
