more about my last post

I initially wrote the poem as a renga which is a Japanese poetry form that consists of haiku bridged by two line stanzas. The form is used as a conversation between multiple poets and was often practiced by Zen Buddhist monks.

obviously I am not multiple people, and the poem is no longer in renga form, but many of the stanzas remain in a informal haiku format.

季節

Four haiku poems one representing each season


Snow clings
Concrete wall
Still winter


Flowers freed
Evoking the sun
Yet it rains


A moment’s chill
My dry throat
Popsicle



Crisp wind
Carries leaf smoke
To the moon
