KUs in the mod mode

Sketchbook is among the publications that prefer what I tend to think of as non-standard haikus. 'Non-traditional?' Syllable count's somewhat up for grabs, etc. I will tell you the truth. I resisted moving away from 5-7-5 and the sentences I usually ended up creating. Good to be flexible, tho. Hope I'm getting the hang. Enuf! Subject's FALL as we experience it in much of the U.S. Hope u like!! Sketchbook's looking for 'ku 'bout leaves 'round now, 'case u're interested. xOx Pea xOx

shower exclamation points
leaves'  pleas to Jack Frost
. . .cold one,  he
 
 
Grief is one leaf
falls after another. . .
. . .brown white with snow
 
 
A poem of a downfall. . .
ghostly regrets of the leaves
go where you came from

 
drought creates filigree
lace  doilies from decay.
. . .best scenario?
 .

leaves fall as sadness
rises to meet  in iced rain
. . .put on the kettle
 

leaves not falling but creeping
pile crackles in me if  i move
. . .think Spring

Loved your ku's...I was listening to the breeze rustling in the trees in my backyard as I read them. Perfect timing to have found these in the Den! Great job!

Traditional or non-, your KUs share great images with us, Pea. Our oak-leaves are just beginning to fall, but sadly very few acorns for the squirrels to stash for winter. All favorites for me...

I so agree with Karla, Pea, that these are beautifully felt and captured. I like the somewhat stoccato voice, like the erratic movement and ambivalence of falling leaves. Also have to go with Karla's choice of "favourite", being an Earl Grey girl! Any excuse for a cuppa! :))

(((Pea))),

Non traditional, but conveys message (and image!) perfectly. Will have to try this form. (And yes, am interested. LOL) Absolutely gorgeous!

This one got all over and inside and THROUGH me with its power - kind of like being struck by lightning, but in a good way - felt every word -

leaves fall as sadness
rises to meet in iced rain
...put on the kettle <--- WOW. Know how you feel. Brilliant!
