Sherese Gooden Poet Haiku

Endangered Species

Girl in red, a dress
                 Pleated down to her knees, skips 
                 Down the lonely street.

                 Man in black beret
                 Sunshades set on face, striding
                 Down the narrow street.

                 Girl turns, sees this chap
                 Hurries her steps, man does so too
                 Girl runs, man runs too.

Matthew Anish August 18, 2012 at 9:22 PM Scary scenario - great visual poetry. I think they are senryu - they are not about nature. Keep up the good work! Peace & Love Matthew Anish Sherese Gooden August 18, 2012 at 9:29 PM Mathew it is a matter of the English Haiku, vs the traditional Japanese. Love
