LEARNING JAPANESE


Haiku - what is it
if not the painting of life
with single brush strokes

Haiku - what is it
if not holding the whole world
gently in cupped hands

Haiku - the fragrance
of a thousand dancing flames
or scented lilies

A feast for the eyes
tenderness for all life's pain
aromatherapy

The title made me think of the Vapours song, of the same name.

Excellent, I do something similar, but it's called Britiku.
These are excellently written...

This collection of Haiku poetry is as delicately sensuous as its parental form.
Best regards,

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
