Haiku - Iku - Number 62 Thru 67 Revised
#62
bright hovering birds
sip from honeysuckle cups -
a tea monger's cart
#63
bees gather pollen
their legs and wings a blur -
golden alchemy
#64
frost punks spring's success
winter knife's the heart of fall -
summer love can't last
#65
man cuts word in half
and smiles - haiku 'less is more'
puzzle this 'sippi'
#66
pictures overwhelm -
give others a blank page
they will vote for you
#67
fishing bob jiggles
hook plumbing the depths with bait -
look! spring's in her step

Poet's Notes:
Question: Does 'golden alchemy' bring a picture to your mind? OK, I'll admit
that you might have to think a little! : -) How is that picture different from
'a tea monger's cart? ' Is it even possible for one image to be more real than
another? Isn't everything (you think you see) just a 'model of reality'
constructed by your brain from sensory input? Let's raise our glass to 'models!
' Some of them are so sexy and cute even! Ha! ?
Concrete images (that are never concrete) can be so boring and are rarely
more than a spark, mostly monkeys with typewriters or emperor's "new
clothes!" Words may seem beautiful to you, but if they do not come from the
author's original intention to communicate a specific idea or feeling, they are
garbage I think, just monkeys typing and "Fake News!"
