A feast of life's charms
And tragedies, digested,
spewing into words.
I've never written a Haiku before so I thought I'd give it a try...not sure if it's a correctly done Haiku...so it could just be a very short poem :) I'm linking up to Meeting the Bar...Critique and Craft over at dVerse ~Poets Pub. ...oh, and the photo was found on Google...
It is a haiku form. What a feast it is ~
ReplyDeletenice..simple yet it is the digestingwhere the art is truly found...it is like mining for gold...
ReplyDeleteGreat going. It has logical integrity all the way through along with grace and zest. An enjoyment.
ReplyDeletespewn into words...yes..that's exactly how it is..
ReplyDeleteExactly! This is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteA feast digested/translated is a good capture in 5/7/5 with the body as metaphor for what poetry does. Well done.
ReplyDelete5-7-5 alone doesn't make a haiku (in fact is often abandoned these days in favour of short/long/short lines with fewer syllables) and traditionally they are not supposed to have metaphor, and are supposed to be about nature, and there are a whole lot of other rules as well. — but people are taking them in all sorts of new directions nowadays.
ReplyDeleteTo be on the safe side, I'd call this one micropoetry rather than haiku, but in any case it's a terrific statement about the nature of poetry, so you could legitimately call it ars poetica!
Most poets will call this a haiku!
ReplyDeletethat certainly is poetry! nice write.
ReplyDeleteYes! Exactly that.
ReplyDeleteLove this. You are such a talent.
