MY FIRST IMAGIST POEM -REFLECTIONS
Reflections
Deep into the pool
A blue moon,ephemeral,
Below white-coated peaks,
Bleak and surreal,
The transient image too soon
Dissolves,and ripples into space,
As water though my grasp.

Of August sun
Where nature blinks and shrinks
The dying grass,yellowed in sleep-
Held fast
MY FIRST HIKU
On the wind,a bell
Muffled from across the square
Raindrops fill the air
why hiku ?
HAIKU means the ' phonetical&cultural original 'in Japanese'

Since when did people not care anymore?

But now people all over just don't care
