Light as air Haiku Poetry. A diverse and inspirational collection of around 250 categorized Haiku and Senryu poems, that should stir both the imagination and emotions. It's not all bright and breezy though..you will find some poems have been written in a darker voice. The Haiku and Senryu Poems that make up Choux Haiku generally possess a style that is freer flowing as opposed to rigidily following exact Haiku and Senryu forms in every aspect.
Excerpt
7.1 Peace & tranquility
The glass on the pond-
roof to fish and floor to bugs;
quiet home to thoughts.
______________
Abracadabra-
a magic word we all know;
another is peace.
_______________
Alone with the drips;
thoughtful moments hang around
in the mood they make.
_____________________
Dream mountain retreat
invisible among trees;
stresses fade away.
___________________
I have no smart words
for describing this feeling-
just watching the moon.
___________________
Slapping waves soothe me
winding back the hands of time-
to bubble gum days.
_____________________
Feet up on the chair
just listening to the birds-
singing relaxing.
Peace cannot prosper
as long as it’s them and us;
faith’s flawed paradigm.
__________________
Pine cones on needles
fresh crisp still silent forest;
I walk so slowly.
________________
Wispy clouds blue sky
birds so high almost unseen;
blinks getting longer.
________________
Where there is power
peace will enjoy little room;
irony of man.
7.2 Nature- general/garden
Razor cuts of sun-
on the hunt for chlorophyll
to slice into life.
The songs and art in this book are about our collective emergence after the pandemic and trauma of the last few years - comprised of 5 collections: World as Refuge, Where We Live, In Our Hands, Rhythms of Change and What We See & Sow.
