Teen Idols (Haiku)
With really bad attitudes
Taking center stage
About this poem:
This is reflective of my really 'corny' mood tonight...
Dark Night
rain down on Batman’s cave and
bullets cloud summer.
Pandemonium!
Life’s delicate balance lost.
Summer tears stream down.
I am not surprised,
says son's mother, reported.
Summer reign shocks world.
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 !!
Peaking thru the Clouds
Sparing me from the grasped world
Peaking thru the clouds

Dream wings cannot fly
Dark talons pierce the soul
The heart languishes in hells nest
A shrill cry of despair echo's
through life's canyon..
'Oh, how the mighty have fallen..!'

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)
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.
Fabulous Fall (haiku)
Chilly breeze blowing
Colored leaves against blue sky
Musky scent of Fall
