the profoundness of the Haiku

yesterday I mentioned that when taking a poetry section in class you have to experiment with different forms - the limerick as mentioned. Today I'm revealing my exploration of the Haiku. A Haiku is an obscure statement with iambic rules that has a profound meaning...I do not know how obscure or profound my Haiku are but I do like the briefness of them :)

Silent murmur in the class,

Thought waves stagnate in the air,

Disturbed by their use

Tic ‘81

Rain: a dapple, drop

The perfect picture

Shinning sun on painted hill

Tic ‘81

Early, morning mist;

The sun beats down on cornfields,

With a golden haze

Tic ‘81

Day: sunrise, sunset.

Shadowed crows fly swiftly by,

Never to return

Tic ‘81

Thinking; sat I here

Feathery is the kitten

And wine is red

Tic ‘84

Sea, air – elements

Sitting near a pair of docks

Ships lay in the bay

Tic ‘84

A rocky stairway

Flowers border climb of life

Coloring each day

Tic ‘84

The day is ending

Power flows through all living

To bring beginnings

Tic ‘84

Sigh drooping eyes doze

A speaker talking away

Minds don’t comprehend

Tic ‘84

Hail fell down today

Windy weather nature’s song

Sung to all who hear

Tic ‘85

Mountain, Holy hill

Jerusalem, trodden down

Till time is fulfilled

Tic ‘87

Blindness, state of mind

Hear a bee collect pollen

Sweetness of honey

Tic ‘90
