Broken Monoku is a senryu/haiku with a slight enigmatic flavour written in its earlier as a one line form with a break at its ceasura
* dear john she replies - dipping her pen into tears * listen to the pause - silence is golden A tribute to Erik Satie * the school-bus departs - she eats the advent candy * on garibaldi's retreat - the cookie crumbles * moss carpets the roof - the blackbirds make over * carol concert prelude- - chatter of innocents * footsteps in the street - echos of a distant youth * filaments in ferment - the elements touch base * a tumbleweed,windblown - the bounty-hunter dismounts * at ease on my bookshelf - yesteryear's leisured hours * a rainbow arises - through a curtain of tears * between wind and water - skating on black ice * shadows of yesteryear - distortions in todays dreams * as a sequence a perambulator arrives - emptiness takes its leave . a quietness descends - fresher term opens . room-to-let sign illumes - emptiness returns
