Haiku + Senryu

Haiku is a seasonal, reverent celebration of a subject (nature or people) trying to make a feeling.
Senryu tends to have a victim and may be humorous or irreverant trying to make a point.
- paraphrased from Michael Dylan Welch's Graceguts

Still More in the Spirit of Masaoka Shiki...




Skies may be grumbling
Winds may be wild and frantic
But your church beams light

And your church beams light
Beyond the last rays of day
Like a neon sign


NOTE
The reference to church in these haiku intends to suggest that sacred place within
as much as the sacred bricks and mortar that may be needed in physical realms.

Masaoka Shiki
tsuridoko ni irihi mori kuru shigemi kana 
the evening sun
filters through the undergrowth
onto the hanging bed
and:
rai harete ichiju nu yuki semi no koe 
the thunderstorm having cleared up
the evening sun shines on a tree
where a cicada is chirping

More in the spirit of Masaoka Shiki...




lost feathers
make way for new wings
in new breezes

no peacocks
just humble creatures
seeking their flight

spreading out his tail

In the spirit of Masaoka Shiki...




cold winter blast
warm red gloves on my hands
glued with white ice

glued with white heat
reaching for echoes of
cold winter blast


Linking to:
Carpe Diem ~ A Daily Haiku Meme ~
In the spirit of
Masaoka Shiki

cold winter blast
a cord of a sedge hat
cut into my neck
