The Variance in Perceived Direction

Softened corridors
Architecturally sound
Dream of future joy

Heavy tolls oft ring
As one lilts in nonchalance
Pseudonyms etch deep
Placating tone with rhymed speech
Yanking the chords, course aligned

Last of the latest Haiku

Poetic scribbling

Interred forever after

As page captures blood

Singularities

Of phenomenology

Garner cultish lore

The fatal flaw dwells

In our very tapestry

Fraying ‘til threadbare

With a Sustenance,

Fertile in frigidity,

The Heart never warms

When man chooses to

Put his trust in biting things

Often he bites too

If blinded by dream,

Do nightmares escape the mind?

Would we even care?

In the purest dance,

Moonlight’s halo spans around,

The floors airy night

To lay atop stacks

Logic speaks only of rest,

Not of laziness

 Well, this was the last of the Haiku's I had written here and there but never posted.  When I get some more amassed, Haiku/Senryu and Tankas I'll post them.

Another 4 Haikus...

Sometimes we may throw

Whatever it is we can

And hope one-foot lands

Abandoned by pride

A lioness licks her wounds

Until their scents form

Bouncing place to place

So much time remembering

All the faceless names

A soft decay rots

Attracting quite the crowd here

All from a crumb lost

Four Haikus

Accosted by paint

Smooth strokes covet canvas clean

We bristle…we beam

Foraging the gates

Perusing the mossy seams

Searching for the key

Lantern’s oil dwindles

As moon nears the break of day

Tired…yet wide awake

Solemnity sings

Lyrical in honesty

Tone develops pitch

A Game of Chance

Illusionism
Birthed by bartering-beliefs
For potential gain

Despite the council
Appendages turn
Sour with the decree

Sleight of hand, one, two
Holograms and gradients
Clouding an unknown

Tricks in games of chance
Gambling deceptions of man
Chloroform will dance

Macabre's stirring twist-
Back and forth, above-below
Calendars remind

Salted wounds grow numb
As roulette wheels cease tumbling
Pennies for your thoughts?

Who doesn't like chance?
A world without pit-bosses
Close your eyes, believe in dream

Haiku, Senryu, Renga etc.. are the stakes for the game this week over at D'verse, where Gay started a very nice lesson and discussion on Japanese style in this weeks Form For All.  Here I used a few variations to complete this piece.

Everywhere

Ardent skies in turn
Divide the day and the night
With a pause called life

Twitter Variety Pack

Micro-poetry

Every Facet

All Around

Competing for attention

Jumping out of skin

To make a crack begin

Before the frown freezes in

Trinkets in grass

The mouse stored

To and From

Scampering ground

Circling above

A vulture roams

Gogyohkas

Two boulders rest by Giant’s form

A shadow of past

Awaits the awakening of future’s door

Within

A trance of hope

A walk through

A glow beneath

Pleasant yet frightening

Noises from inside

Looking back I swear to see

The marble, move as well

Crickets sing

Beneath billowed brush

Eavesdropping

Upon familiar conversation

While stirring tea with a child’s spoon

War-Torn

Been a long time

“saw you just the other…”

Yet we didn’t speak

A glimpse

Longer for me, than for you

Framework of…poetry

Senryus

Kettle barrel deep

Tympanic resolutions

Attuned beyond sound

Mindful confidence

For departed rattling chains

Unbound voyaging

Goldfish swimming laps

Waiting for the hawk to clear

Surfacing, Koi-ly

3 Senryu's posted to Twitter

A blanket of white

A spectacle unrehearsed

Softly consuming

To see, to soar

To peak before

It takes time

For wings and legs to find

Altitude, aptitude

Crawl before skall

Lest you may

Tumble or fall

2 Senryu poems, 2 Cryptich Poems and a Nonsense Poem posted on Twitter

Haiku/Senryu

Sweeping rivers blue

Adjacent to fields of green

Pleasant thoughts collect

Bushel of berries

Red and bumpy, blue and smooth

From toes, sweetness grows

Cryptich’s

Foi Gras / Scorpion / Bauxite

Nonsense Poem

Gogregorgrook

Punctuated with a Mwooh haha look

On and on it rambled on

As I fare so

Awaiting the fish in ear
