Blue Skies of Mercy
Green plums
The famished one will eat them
but will find the taste
bitter.
Cold rain
drowns wind, its chill eating one’s heart
but the scent gives life
to souls.
Worn string
on harp, used near to breaking
but its note, played, is
hope-filled
always.
Know way
Without a clue
You know I knew about the few
Those you hurt around and through the years
Just because they knew your foolish fears
You whom I once knew
About this poem:
Poem about knowing a person for so long only to have something idiotic come between ya'll.Night and Day - Haiku
When sun is down, stars hold sway,
Dawn again, we pray
About this poem:
Inspired by Gashly's latest...Lovers (Senryu)
lovers embrace in the rain
welcoming passion
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)
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
Rain
Mingles, life is short, it flies,
Dies, on window pane.
About this poem:
This is a Haiku, one of mine, the only poetry that could motivate me in my school days .... Now, of course that i am a tad older and maybe wiser, i wonder was it anything to do with its length and the amount of syllables in relation to my attention span !! LOL !!
coupling
abyssal night
bitter softness..
About this poem:
intolerable nectar..
"Frozen Haiku"
Autumn in Brazil
Wordless beholder...
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
Harvest Moon Haiku
A lengthy season of wait
To golden harvest
