evening perfume
a flower blossom primrose
memory of you
HIKU is the English language version(including translations)with similar economy of words without "telling all" thereby to ' show ' (conforming to the key to true imagist poetry),&to avoid 'as'&'to' & the use of past tense verbs (often without verbs,adverbs,adjectives )A verse freed from syllabic constraint within its triplicity of format& inherently enigmatic & still with a caesura and surprise ending.
REQUIEM
nothing-
then silence,
sad faces!
then tears,
emotion,
regret-
then pain
wordless
the need
the longing
the touch,
a kiss-
a couple in
ectasy
MEMORIAL
nothingness-
the grief,
such sorrow!
then emptiness,
weeping
why !
then loneliness.
