Sotto Poet Poet Haiku

Notes About The Poem

All Time Haikus

For last fifty years.
Sad pillows still surround me
Moans are dragging me.

For last fifty years. 
Heart is unable to see
the dark span thrilled me  
 
For last fifty years. 
I run around the time's dust 
and the whirlwind falls.
  
For last fifty years. 
I'm looking for My Nineties
Calm and loving beam. 

For last fifty years.
Want to remain unloaded. 
No one crossed but me. 

 
For last fifty years.
doom angels did not appear
for life-changing hug. 
 
For last fifty years. 
Some subterfuge was muttered.  
Step aimed for repent  

For last fifty years. 
hunt for a watering pot
Rain for Aaron's rod 
 
For last fifty years. 
And I'm relying on you
sky's tears have fallen. 

For last fifty years. 
The eyes decipher birth signs
on heat and pain shores.

For last fifty years. 
sins tighten the grip of grief
hope and goodness fade 
 
For last fifty years. 
The metal scream may be heard.
metal beat yields steel.

Sara Kendrick August 12, 2021 at 5:33 AM Fifty years spent in grief and longing or hunting for something sounds like a difficult period of one's life but I am not sure that it is what this work is about but maybe something deeper. Enjoyed reading your winner. Way to go. Congrats. Sara Sotto Poet August 12, 2021 at 9:19 AM Thank you so much for your kindness, Sara, and for your delightful comment. Blessings and hugs

Michelle Faulkner August 7, 2021 at 2:23 PM A compelling picture of the passing years, congratulations~ Sotto Poet August 7, 2021 at 2:33 PM Thanks for reading and commenting Michelle

Andrea Dietrich August 7, 2021 at 11:22 AM You strung them along well, Lassad. I like doing series with first line as the theme to begin each one. Congrats here.

Sam Kauffman August 7, 2021 at 9:04 AM Amazing chain Lasaad that spins a story of "the last fifty years." Love the steel and metal metaphors. Congratulations on your win my friend! Sending blessings. Sotto Poet August 7, 2021 at 9:34 AM Thank you very much, Sam, your motivating words are so dear to me, and I'm delighted you like this poem. Blessings and kindest wishes, dear friend.

Christuraj Alex August 7, 2021 at 6:52 AM So Beautiful Haiku Chain. Congratulations on your win! Sotto Poet August 7, 2021 at 9:35 AM Thank you very much, Alexis, appreciate your kind words.

David Kavanagh August 4, 2021 at 11:50 AM You honestly gave me pause for thought Lasaad with these strikingly deep haikus, some are very personal to you, and appear a little cryptic to this reader, I may need a little help deciphering, “remember I’m agnostic” but overall the flow continues to intrigue, right up to the final line, (swine lost faith we grow), seems to hammer home your underlying message, cheers David Sotto Poet August 4, 2021 at 12:28 PM Thank you very much for your detailed assessment and exhaustive analyses, David. Although there are no particular pieces of information tackled, the topic addressed here is everything that irritates the younger generation, which is very valued compared to our older generation. Best wishes, my good friend.

Rama Balasubramanian August 4, 2021 at 4:52 AM Superbly flow in your Haiku string. Well penned. I am also 50. Sotto Poet August 4, 2021 at 12:14 PM Thank you so much, Rama. I appreciate your kind words, and it is nice to know that you're fifty, that's the wise and mature age.

Victor Buhagiar August 2, 2021 at 11:15 PM Great poem. All haikus. I would find them difficult writing one let alone a long string of them. Well done. Sotto Poet August 3, 2021 at 12:26 PM Thank you so much, dear Victor, appreciate your encouraging words, my good friend.
