Premium Member Thirst Quencher (Epulaeryu)

He gave water to quench thirst
A refreshing spring
He told it calm and be still
Tasty as iced tea
Sweet like lemonade
It is so 
Nice!

Premium Member Blood and Fire Inferno

 

and beneath the earth
a realm of endless burning...
the sun is silent

forever darkness
with loud moaning like the wind ...
dead gnarled trees withered

a fierce hell abyss
with rivers of boiling blood ...
smells of decaying

serpents and dragons
guard the walls and gates of hell ...
three headed devil

violent storms howl
swirling and pushing down down ...
path of broken bones

Premium Member An Apple a Day (Epulaeryu)

Fill me with love my soul cries
Sweet fruit for my life
Comforting is your pure sight
Rapture of your skin
Takes away mine ills
Oh apple
Spice!

Nature Is Wonderful Hs

nature in all forms,
she amazingly performs.
beauty, she adorns.

spreading flowers sweet,
making a spring day complete,
earthly wonders greet.

birds singing in tune.
now the owls hoot to the moon,
all will slumber soon.

fireflies glow brightly.
babies snuggle so tightly.
moonbeams fall lightly.

nature’s shining with a smile,
her work done and it’s worthwhile.

Premium Member Wilderness Envisioning

Sometimes, I roam a lush green forest...
                 in my mind; birds sing a chorus

               Being one with nature and admiring
                        it's magnificent splendor;
                              all it has to offer

                         Sometimes I envision...
                            surrendering freely
                   to the beauteous wilderness.
                   Once in a blue moon, I'd hike 
                            up the mountains 
                    where the rarified air is thin.
                          I'd sit at the summit
                  in a tabula rasa state of mind
                           as if lost in time;
                                surveying 
                              the vast sea
                          of tall green trees.
                          I'd picture myself
                                  standing
                                 at the top 
                             with my hands
                               outstretched
                      like Leonardo DiCaprio
                        in the movie, "Titanic,"
                                 exclaiming...
                    "I'm the king of the world!"

                          magnificent sights
                       wilderness envisioning...
                             in full surrender

Shahid Minar

I
come all through
year

before the
dawn
sun rising

this is path
for the remembrance
with flowers

they all died for us,
mother tongue
for country peoples

I'm independent
today none can force to speak
in another tongue

this small flower oblation
from me for honor
though they did great for us all

from that nineteen fifty two
the Shahid Minar standing in heart
with revered love for martyr

to remind value of mother tongue
Twenty First February
comes as the Int. Mother Language Day


-February 20,2020 Chattogram 



****
note

The idea to celebrate International Mother Language Day was the initiative of Bangladesh. In Bangladesh 21 February is the anniversary of the day when Bangladeshis fought for recognition for the Bangla language

Premium Member HIKU and ME -creativity the KEY

HAIKU is a centuries old Japanese traditional phonetical & cultural poetic form 
whereas
 HIKU is a relatively recent reference to the 75year old established  haiku in English. Hiku being  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 Japaneses haiku. Without 'invented'  syllabic( 5-7-5 ) line restrictions of the 'haiku in english 'is the 'free verse' version of the  '5:7:5  haiku in English'. similar but different ,a present tense poetic ,the - hiku is the written or recited equivalent to arts 'gestural spontaneous happening' .

Creativity the key in a verse freed from strict syllabic constraint within its triplicity of format(tristich)& yet inherently enigmatic & often with a caesura and surprise ending( VERSUM )to give a 'turning' to the line.

The flexible hiku maybe a horizontal  single* line,(often  broken line at the caesura),a vertical line(usually a painting(haiga) ,a couplet** or a tristich* with shape-like variations.




hiku tristich examples 

he dusted the album-
a memory of love
trickled down his cheek

winter unfolds-
galanthus nivalis
in  the woodland 

5:7:5 haiku (haiku in English) example
on the wind,a bell-
muffled from across the square
raindrops fill the air

5:7:5 haiku( haiku in English)with title example
An Abstract Haiku

blue and gold circles
revolve,dissolve and endure
picture,perfect pure
