The Outsider View
The game of connecting dots
Constellations twinkle
The last bird singing
In the chorus at sunrise
Singing from his heart
The portrait wanted
To move outside the frame
Something new to try
Wrapped in quilt of dreams
From the fog of sub-conscience
Words precipitate
Waves wash away my steps
A blanc page to start over
Leaves swayed by the breeze
The lost outsider
Bumped into the world’s problems
Bruises and scratches
About this poem:
A random mix
Bentlees Block Haiku
refusing to be released
being obstinate
The coach Potatoe
The coach potatoe
He always sits not moving not talking he just sits
Sqaure ies he now as got from sitting in front of the tele
Sitting munching his take away the coach potatoe sits and watches tele
not moving not talking muching all the time what channel he watches He does not care
Tele is his joy his fun
A knock on the door he does not care he ignores them all when the Take away comes he fidgets with joy
Rubs his hands opens his door glides back to his beloved tele sits Down for more
Eating munching he watches more tele
About this poem:
The moral of the poem is excercise more
angry seas, seagulls and sands (hauki)
wave on wave each one larger
swamping the small boat
seagulls circling
harsh cries ring out in the wind
plunging and fighting
sands stretching for miles
seaweed and shells scattered wide
strewn debray everywhere

Echoes of love now faded,
Lost souls find solace.
About this poem:
In the haiku, "In shadows we roamed" sets the scene of a relationship that once existed, where the lovers were intertwined in each other's lives, sharing moments both bright and dark. "Echoes of love now faded" signifies that the intensity and passion of their love have diminished over time, leaving behind only faint remnants of what once was. Finally, "Lost souls find solace" suggests that despite the loss and heartache, there is still hope for healing and finding peace in the aftermath of lost love. It speaks to the resilience of the human spirit and the possibility of moving forward despite the pain.

Where is freedom’s ring?

About this poem:
Definition of Senryu1) A Japanese poem similar in structure to haiku, but more concerned with human nature, and is often humorous or satiric -- usually in three lines of seventeen kana.
2) A foreign adaptation of 1, usually written in three lines of 17 syllables or LESS.
Again, unless you are Japanese, have been writing Japanese, or speak fluent Japanese, you will be writing definition #2.
A good structure for beginning senryu poets is:
setting
subject and action (on two lines)
Blackened Night
whisper dream omens
long nights....
Hot wind
breath of demons sickly sweet
restless dreams, chilly nights
worry...
Sharp edge
dry fears cold in late lamplight
frayed sides of cracked dreams
time waits...
