If I Could-4 Haiku’s
© 2007
Dan Johnson


If I could just write
the perfect words of what you
really mean to me,


I would be king of
this vast and untamed cosmos,
if only I could.


If I could just sing
the perfect love song, I would
sing, my whole life long.


I would hold the world,
and you, in my hands, forever,
and forever more.


Dan Johnson

I love the premise of this Haiku string Dan. The words you have written tell me that even though we recognize our own limitations, there is perfection in your heart.

I admire all poets who can write haikus--or senryus--whatever they're called -- I never could. I tried really hard to, but the result was horrible. I love the way yours just sound like a thought -- they're not forced out into 5-7-5 format. I see you cheated a bit on the last one -- I respect you even more for that --that "for" on "forever" doesn't count anyways, does it? I love the refrain "if I could..." and the thought is fluid, not disjointed (another reason why I never really liked ku's) and yet very concise. I like your style. --Charlie
