"Frozen Haiku"
Autumn in Brazil
Wordless beholder...
aviation lovin
no body sees me, to them i am a blimp
standing tall in the sky,
providing advertisement for local industries
but i, like my forefathers before me,
dream of bigger things,
the concord raging inside of me
struggling against my blimp exterior
my engines roar
my loins burn,
i fire through the mythical dungeon,
the glistening glass ceiling finally broken
a star is born.
soaring through the heavens
she floats like a butterfly
but stings... me
she opens her wings
i refuel my concord
sweet release
we are as one
About this poem:
i think about planes when i ejaculate. flying high my engine explodes
Empty
good talker, good listener
found porch, vacated
Haikus
I care only know that I
Will always love you.
Gazing in wonder
I stood frozen in delight
As morning awoke.
Will love you always
deep inside my heart and
ever more in time.
Poets I greet your
comments warmly and read your
fine words happily.
Haiku
brazen yellow, sun kissed
petals, brightly greet
The dawn of the day
magically the sun rises
flooding with colour
Gently the stems quake
as caught by the breeze they shake
quiver in its wake
Matching yellow bird
soars over the display of beauty
adding its sweet notes
A vision of bliss
such a simple little thing
the joy of nature
First Glance (Senryu)
Mixed with a small amount of:
A slight twinge of guilt
About this poem:
In tribute to Socrates........".thanks for enlightening me to this sub-form of Haiku-like style "Coyote
across fields of verdant green
a sly cunning thief
Night of the misty moon
hearing her name,
I listen.
In the sakura fields,
"It's tonight",
we noticed.
The radiance shows,
on the
Night of the misty moon.
It's beauty glowing.
Love is forever,
As a diamond
Becomes pure,
A sakura petal
Falls into the pond
we are near.
Quiet, Serenity, Peace,
This is our place
For the night
Of the
Misty moon.
About this poem:
This poem is based on both old Japanese and Chinese philosophy, in which, is why I wrote this and because a couple months ago, the moon was looking misty.In this poem, is a hint on how to keep balance, stability, Vitality and love for others. For which cannot be seen, is what lies from within.
The night i wrote this poem, I was feeling quite calm, peaceful, tranquil, and at peace with myself and GOD. Writing these types of poems is how I express both my feelings, and the old philosophy of China and Japan.
Lovers (Senryu)
lovers embrace in the rain
welcoming passion
