Haiku

Filed under: Life in general, poetry — sanjubaba @ 9:59 pm

So, I decided to try my hand at Haiku with no regard to technique…

Time:

When the sand trickles down

My mind rushes

Like a little fish

Chased by a large shark

Angle:

An arching curve

lying flat on the ground

how often ignored

Poor, directionless feet

 

Solitude

The sun shines carefully

Through a canopy of trees

A lonely leaf hangs

on the bare branches

Reality

A spring drizzle 

brightens up the day

but the rain

brings out the shit

Power

A teacher in class

has all the power

over the students

only when they care
