Leon Enriquez Poet Haiku

Haiku Sparkle 3

Words trickle
Discern meaning;
Open heart surgery


Work for wealth
Pricey tag for health;
Silly permutation


Whispers
Murmurs;
Fading voices hint


Going out today
Do not delay;
Trip to find me


Questions disturb
Overturn decisions;
Offer revisions


Lost in the mists
Time and space collapse;
Sudden illumination


Smiles and winks
Hints and tints;
CSR ice cream


Yes this is it dear death:
My last testament;
Officially legal and willing


Loose change
For penny options;
Get rich quickie!

Andrea Dietrich May 16, 2014 at 11:46 PM Hi, Leon. You know what? I think these might be that one kind of poem that has three lines but are not called haiku. Someone just blogged about it here at Soup. Anyway, they were fun to read. Thanks for that suggestion about May. I think I might try to incorporate your suggestion in my next contest I sponsor!! Leon Enriquez May 17, 2014 at 2:27 AM Dear Andrea: Traditional Japanese haiku is strictly about an experiential observation or fragment about nature with a season word. Haiku in English is today very much about direct experience and personal observation. The line is now more flexible. Senryu like Haiku is the right term when we talk about the personal space, and that's my take. To me, the term is not really critical. It's the pulse of the momentary fragment. Hope this helps. Leon
