Mystic Rose Rose Poet Haiku

Matsuo Basho Haikus For Life

A morning spell 
freshly proposed  
comes quietly in 

yesterday's ambient air   
pushes out of the screen 
archaic puffs of stale   

what meanders out   
is the remnants of me  
before the crisis   

caught between  
hope and despair 
I take to daydreaming 

alone 
again 
in my bed

Virginia Gelok January 12, 2022 at 5:20 PM Since I still don't understand some of these types of poetry, I loved this. I thought it helped me understand haikus a little more. Beautiful. Mystic Rose Rose January 12, 2022 at 5:54 PM I don't either Virginia, just trucking along learning and goofing and having some fun, thanks for reading

Victor Buhagiar January 12, 2022 at 9:57 AM Short Basho poems are not my forte, but as normal haikus, I loved them all. Hugs. Mystic Rose Rose January 12, 2022 at 5:53 PM Not sure I did them right, but I tried Victor, thanks for reading

Vijay Pandit January 12, 2022 at 9:16 AM The third line of every stanza says Basho--and the last haiku says it all. Mystic Rose Rose January 12, 2022 at 5:53 PM Thank you Vijay for reading my haiku, blessings.

L Milton Hankins January 12, 2022 at 8:16 AM I like this one very much, MRR. I don't know if it's what Damned I-Be is looking for, but it's a keeper in my humble opinion. Good luck! Mystic Rose Rose January 12, 2022 at 5:53 PM not sure either Milton, haikus are not my forte, I just tried one , heh I had fun, thanks for dropping in
