tone poems

I was a child in Japan, and thus encountered the idea of haiku and the absolute fact that haiku cannot be written in English at a rather young age (9, about). I had started writing poetry by then.
Anyway, my idea was to have a structure similar but simply rename it; thus tone poems. :Let us bear in mind that this is also a considerable distortion of the original meaning of the phrase.
The entry preceding this was a tone poem. So is
sun on bright water
narcissus, shattered
by a pebble
which may have been but I think wasn’t the original “tone poem”.

I am finally pursuing publication again. Before joining the Navy I actually got free verse published. It was also (as I found out AFTER submitting) in magazines that never published free verse. Looked a tad odd amongst all the other poems which were either blank verse or rhymed. Should you reply I probably will join because I write constantly and sometimes could use comments.
