Haiku
08.11.04 (10:34 am) [edit]
The by-myself time lately has made in in the mood to write haiku, which are my favorite form of poerty, I think, with free verse coming in a close second. One I wrote just now-
Crisper air fills lung-
Soothing softly stinging throat
Time again for change
I'm a novice, and still learning how to make them sound less elementary, but the simplicity and their ability to evoke a single moment or feeling is what I love. It's how I think. In moments.

We hold this moment -
a droplet on time's grass blade.
Like tears in our eyes.

Five syllables first,
then seven on the second,
then five again third.

I love the old pictures of Samuri and Geisha. It's a sad thing that both are passing away. Strong culture anywhere is a beautiful thing.
