~~Haiku River~~

[MickNasty]

first haiku

Ok - this is my first serious haiku... so no laughing I don't count the silly haikus that I wrote to make fun of friends.

so - is this right? what could I have seen here that I missed? And no, lets not get all existential about "what is right"?


ancient valley thirsts
spring’s draught locked away
crystal drips

 

[My Erotic Trail]

Hope all is well with you and yours after this monster storm...just amazing
damage .....blue

thanks blue...

we made it with very little damage
but so many were not so lucky
five days without power makes one respect it so much more (grin


I'm back...(~_~)

 

[My Erotic Trail]

friday night blues
tender words, saturday night special
verbal bullets

 

[bluerains]

friday night blues
tender words, saturday night special
verbal bullets

words become silent
bullet proof penetration
simply sighs...

 

[My Erotic Trail]

whistleing wings
over head go by

four doves fly

 

[My Erotic Trail]

Circling overhead
wings widespread

pelicans fly

 

[bluerains]

Circling overhead
wings widespread

pelicans fly

gliding 'long mullets
crashing the sandbar
scooping up dinner

 

[sassynyc]

the day, heather grey
occasional blonde highlights
peek through swelled cotton

 

[Unbridled_Passion]

my poor kitty cat
locked away in a foreign prison
we thought he ran away

 

[intherushes]

Messy but tasty,
this primordial melange~
life is but one course.

smiles... hi

 

[Unbridled_Passion]

i got a new job
so far it is non stressful
we'll see where this leads

 

[MyZenTrail]

wiggles the water
rhythm of waves that roll by
river in my eye

 

[drown]

i have faith, you see...

arms spread wide with open palms;

with this, seas parted

 

[peterprincipal]

Quickly she turns back,
Vacant eyes refocus. She
Needs an orgasm.

 

[peterprincipal]

Recognize these names.

Been here for a hundred years.

Some things never change.

Recognize these names.

Been here for a hundred years.

not even stuff badly labeled haiku

ah, but there is not bad poetry, grasshopper
only poor interpreters.

 

[butters]

ah, but there is not bad poetry, grasshopper
only poor interpreters.

i would have to say
bollocks, oh zen-trail leaver-
bad poetry lives!

but i call out 'non-ku'
poorly labeled as 'haiku'
not 'poetry' - fin

not even stuff badly labeled haiku

What has Japan got
in their poems that we have not?
Haiku or haiku rot.

 

[mynameisben]

nest within an egg
flesh and bone reversed conceal
all eternity

 

[mynameisben]

windblown like the snow
the story left unwritten
drifting in my soul

 

[drown]

there's brazen
and that

wheels wrack from a grip of ice

she re-learns her hand

 

[MyZenTrail]

tiger on paper
without words a story forms
each view different

 

[bluerains]

breathing all

rebel without living water
breaths moist magic
a vapor vanquished

 

[MyZenTrail]

spin off a poem I read yesterday but can't find today?

if you know this poem, please post it.....

carrying water at night
bamboo breaks holding the bucket
the bucket falls
no more water
no more moon
