"Staccato" is the Italian word, meaning detached. In music a dot is usually placed above the music note, [indicating] those notes should be [distinctly] seperate, while also [being short] in length. "Staccato Poetry" is a term applying to abrubt, short, detached, distinct, choppy poetry; a term used by poet Maia Szekeley to describe her style of writing. Similar to Haiku, but not the same. Staccato Poetry has no set meter or form. The point is brevity. Saying as much as you can, in as few words as possible. This kind of poetry should have a musical quality to it, abrubt and distinct, when read. This poetic style can also be attributed to Belfast writer Ciaran Carson, whose 2003 poem 'Breaking' broke from his usual meandering works, to be labelled Staccato.
