Micropoetry Month: Nov 2017: #20

While I prefer to break away from the 5-7-5 scheme and other traditional haiku rules, I still think haiku or senryu (in its modern avatar) should seize the essence of a moment anchored in the close observation of nature. This is truly the hardest form of poetry to get right- to be simple yet profound, layered yet obvious, beautiful yet utterly truthful.

(1)

contrary-
contrary to the summer rain
this endless waiting

(2)

pleated morning
she hides my unfinished dreams
in her folds

(3)

mangled sky
together we watch 
orange tulips filling with rain
