majestic bird in
winter on the powerline
warming up your thin
steady thin liked feet
being warmth from feet to toes

current flows through toes
to head electrical warmth
from head to crest warm

HAIKU is a centuries old Japanese traditional phonetical & cultural poetic form whereas HIKU is a relatively recently established English language version thereof 'birthed' from last half of the 20th century.
Hiku is an imagist tristich like its elder cousin,without a title,and with a similar economy of words ,inherently enigmatic & with a caesura or an ellipsis and surprise ending.
A similar sense of pause the aesthetic insight flowing from perception gained from 'one breath length ' composition that flowed from the Japanesese 17 onji sound inherent in the haiku.
Without any syllabic( 5-7-5 ) line restrictions, the hiku is the 'free verse' version of the haiku,similar but different ,a present tense poetic in another language - hiku is the written or recited equivalent to arts 'gestural spontaneous happening'
.
it's autumn where have,
all the butterflies have flown;
fall is here crisp cool-
~
is the air where have
all the butterflies flown, gone
in falls crisp cool aire

days dormant brighter
twilight sun paths warms thee earth
winter’s call cool-cold

green to brown winter
rains turning to snow showers
winter wet season

sun doesn't shine as
with lots of rain, ice or snow
why? cause- It’s winter

pleasant, autumn falls
warmly on the earth during-
winter seasons here

We were at a small
bar, the place only served some
older regulars.
An elderly guy
in an old jean jacket was
talkative, friendly.
“What do girls learn at
Yale?” He asked. “We’re taught things, like
expressions, smiling,
pomposity, snark,
whatevering and stuff-stuff.”
I bragged shamelessly.
“Sure,” He chuckled, “sure
- but it’s worth the money I suppose,”
he gave me a toast.
Limiting yourself
can, in fact, set you free - try
writing a Senryu
Like a martial art,
a tea ceremony or
classical music
They are a tight dance -
controlled, disciplined, focused.
Other styles can drift.
A Senryu is like
a Haiku except it deals
with human feelings
.
.
A Haiku/Senryu should three lines of 5-7-5 syllables
A Haiku should be about nature
A Senryu about human feelings

let’s go Legos blocks
building yellow, green, red beck
love birds parakeets
~
built lovingly by
children of little tiny
hands snapping gathered
~
blocks of colored formed
plastic little molded bricks
fashioning contrived
~
erected birds made skill
fashioned from stacking snap blocks
multicolored bricks
2nd Place placement in contest

three legged table
do not partake of liquor
nor strong pungent drinks
like in a western
bar fight busting tables chairs
fly soars broken to
onto floor broken
cowboys yippee-kila-yay
under bust fighting
like in a western
broken up three leg table
one legged BROKEN

all about nature
vivid lines of imagery
verb free the hardest
hot phenomenon
ancient lava rings
hexagonal shapes appear
molten rock anneals
where titans battled
geometric footprints pave
the giants causeway
