Premium Member Shall I Jump - Wayra

Personal Experience

P-ersonal experience teaches, 
R-eminding one of past error; 
E-very wrong turns into success, 
C-orrecting the fault with ardor.
I-n search of particular progress, 
O-ne learns lesson with vigor; 
U-sing the practical difference, 
S-eeking cue from personal experience.

Rats

Rats
I can hear the rats again, fighting in the ceiling
That’s not a metaphor, they’re really up there screaming. 

I’m laughing while I watch you cry,
You’re laughing while you watch me die. 

The sink is leaking and I can’t stop the dripping
The floor’s collapsing and I can’t stop the slipping

We’re laughing while it doesn’t dry
The rats are here, the end is nigh.

Premium Member Hi-Ku Moments Revealed

the concept of a "hi-ku moment" ,personal experience  provides the sole motive for recording an aesthetic moment of a timeless feeling of enlightened harmony as the poet's nature and the environment are  unified in impressionist brevity with short succinct syntax,sans superfluous words, avoidance of metaphor and similes ,where an emphasis on imagery over exposition becomes ..genius... using an economy of words ..to paint a multi-tiered painting, without "telling all".
