Voices

I's walking alone
                                         Near down the stream of silence
                                                    Called my spirit

                                              "Ssshhh" calm blow of air
                                             Embracing my warm body
                                                     Uplift my spirit

                                                   "Ribbit, Ribbit" Oh!
                                          The amazing chants of frogs
                                                  Flattering my heart

                                                "Buzzzzz" the busy bees
                                         Dancing whilst butts were working
                                             Ouch! sweet kiss you shared

                                              "Tweet" the lovely birds!
                                           Circling around the bright sun
                                                 What a wonderful!

                                                 "Tik" ...can't identify
                                           There's moving under my feet
                                                   Alas! pygmy prey! 

                                                Can't count what I hear
                                           Wake up my dear sleeping soul
                                                Give one chance to live

Brilliant construction combined with words that give life to sounds make this poem remarkable. Then there is the message-rich concluding stanza: wonderful!

Having written a few haiku poems, I can appreciate what you have accomplished here. You have forged this form into the smoothest haiku I have seen in a long while. Great job.... Jake

Hi Elai, reformation of the soul. I like it!!! I like the first haiku. the imagery of walking alone, in silence,,, then that's when all the voices start.... good with the tik, tweet, and buzzing sound... enjoyed~ Linda
