Fall Haiku
beginning of fall is near
cool breeze is blowing
coupling
abyssal night
bitter softness..
About this poem:
intolerable nectar..haiku's
so ignorant
the echo..
snowy old tree
beseeching
poor beggar..
no more seasons
a silence
empty nest..
About this poem:
my boots are ragged..Bentlees Block Haiku
refusing to be released
being obstinate
School haiku
buses letting children out
slowly children go
About this poem:
I took Hannah to school today and watched the bus drivers release the children to start their day.. some children hopped and skipped in happy to be back.. while most slowly, sadly shuffled in.. 179 more days to go lol Hannah was one of the slow ones ...Fabulous Fall (haiku)
Chilly breeze blowing
Colored leaves against blue sky
Musky scent of Fall
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.
Only One
Three ladies I admire the most,
For whom I would like to host
A party for the women three
To get acquainted, you see.
Three acres is all we need,
Airfare included for all three.
Into the night we shall speak
As aquaintance we will seek.
Morning light doth come too soon,
As light fades from the moon.
Breakfast smells soon awake,
As we discover what's at stake.
Homeward bound we soon go,
With thoughts aplenty not for show.
Lots to think about, one to choose
Only one will suit the muse.
Alphabetically, start names of three.
C and J and L makes just three.
Anyone would be just fine,
One of these to wine and dine.
About this poem:
The blog asked who we admire the most, so I wrote this poem in code to show who I like on CS. I really like these three women, and this poem expresses the desire to get acquainted.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 LOVERS"
Raging uncontrolled! ....
Fed by the winds of time ....
Senyra.....
