Drops run down my face, arm, hand ….and his letter’s drenched. I can’t tell if the ink ran from my tears or the drizzle. Does it matter? He’s never coming back. It doesn’t make sense. Why, God? A second ago the world was perfect. The sun was out and the sky was clear, not a cloud in sight. Now all’s changed but not even a torrent will wash your memory away.

HAIBUN is a form of Japanese poetry that combines prose with haiku to convey a moment in time. It should be done in present tense and as brief as possible, somewhere between 100 to 200 words. The HAIKU portion is three lines and less than 17 syllables. The haibun and the haiku must be related, the prose portion gives some background information that makes the haiku more meaning full.
The Narrow Road to the Deep North, is a major work of haibun by the Japanese poet Matsuo Basho, considered -one of the major texts of classical Japanese literature. |

The potlatch challenge this week is to write any kind of poem thanking someone who made a difference in your life.
I thank my mother for giving me life. She died when I was ten years old but in the short-lived time I had her in my life, we loved each other very much. She was the sweetest, kindest, most loving mother I could ever want. Gracias Mama, te quiero mucho y nunca te olvido. (Thank you mom, I love you very much and I will never forget you) |

ART has, literally, saved my life. For years, I was so depressed that getting out of bed was almost impossible. Bathroom trips and making a dry sandwich was as much as I could manage for a whole day. ART has given me a reason to get up in the morning, and now it helps me keep my depression at bay.
ART is the language of my soul and I use ART to express mySELF. My words, my paintings, my music ... they are all part of the beautiful message I am trying to convey. Do you see me? Do you hear me? Do you feel me? Why art with poetry? Why not? I don't owe an explanation of why I use ART with my poems. It's what I do and those who do not like it may skip my work. I am here to improve my writing, to review, to read, and to express myself with any media that feels right to me. Pictures and Haiku go hand in hand. They have been presented together for hundreds of years. The name for a haiku picture is called HAIGA. The great haiku masters, like Basho, created their own haiga. It was a natural thing and never questioned. My interpretation of this haiku: Imagine a silent night up in the hills of a native American reservation. The cremation fire is almost extinguished and the smoke from the embers rises over cypress trees. The fire engulfed the remains of a brave soldier. Wolves cry in the distance. That was the picture in my mind when I wrote this Poem but different people see different things and that's alright. Art is in the eye of the beholder. HAIGA INFORMATION why no 5/7/5? |

*A black hole did choke on a star, I didn't make it up. You may check cited work below~
http://phys.org/news/2015-01-black-hole-swallowed-star.html *3/7/2 haiku ~ Haiku is derived from Tanka. These poetries are spiritually inspired by Zen Buddhism. Nature is the essential part of Haiku Poetry, but in Zen Buddhism the definition of nature is not only about trees, forests, mountains etc. Everything in this world is part of nature, so you can write haiku on anything. Even, the greatest Haiku Poet, 'Basho', said that anything can be the subject of Haiku. |

DAVID BOWIE died of cancer on January 10, 2015, two days before his new album release-Black Star. The news stunned me and breaks my heart. I grew up listening to his music. I have always admired him for his awesome creative talent and his rebel spirit. His style was unique, there is only David Bowie, no one even comes near to his creative and flamboyant fashion. He lived in Style and he died in Style. He knew that he was dying of cancer but nobody else did, other than his close family. His last album was a spectacular goodbye that has no equal. The songs are all about his pain from the relentless cancer diseases, his feelings, his thoughts, and his legacy. If you haven't listened to it, do it. You can watch the awesome video, like a short science fiction film; and listen to the music *free* on youtube. I realize that if you are young, maybe you never heard of him and this haiku doesn't make any sense, but I trust you can google the information. If nothing else, I hope this poem and the artwork will please you.
Lyrics for David Bowie's new song - Lazarus, from his last album released 2 days before his death ~ Black Star, David Bowie's last album. video below and lyrics below In the villa of Ormen, in the villa of Ormen Stands a solitary candle, ah-ah, ah-ah In the centre of it all, in the centre of it all Your eyes On the day of execution, on the day of execution Only women kneel and smile, ah-ah, ah-ah At the centre of it all, at the centre of it all Your eyes, your eyes Ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah In the villa of Ormen, in the villa of Ormen Stands a solitary candle, ah-ah, ah-ah In the centre of it all, in the centre of it all Your eyes Ah-ah-ah Something happened on the day he died Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried How many times does an angel fall? How many people lie instead of talking tall? He trod on sacred ground, he cried loud into the crowd I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar, I'm not a gangster) I can't answer why (I'm a blackstar) Just go with me (I'm not a filmstar) I'm-a take you home (I'm a blackstar) Take your passport and shoes (I'm not a popstar) image: http://static.urx.io/units/web/urx-unit-loader.gif And your sedatives, boo (I'm a blackstar) You're a flash in the pan (I'm not a marvel star) I'm the great I am (I'm a blackstar) I'm a blackstar, way up, oh honey, I've got game I see right so white, so open-heart it pain I want eagles in my daydreams, diamonds in my eyes (I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar) Something happened on the day he died Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried (I'm a blackstar, I'm a star star, I'm a blackstar) I can't answer why (I'm not a gangster) But I can tell you how (I'm not a flame star) We were born upside-down (I'm a star star) Born the wrong way around (I'm not a white star) (I'm a blackstar, I'm not a gangster I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar I'm not a pornstar, I'm not a wandering star I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar) In the villa of Ormen stands a solitary candle Ah-ah, ah-ah At the centre of it all, your eyes On the day of execution, only women kneel and smile Ah-ah, ah-ah At the centre of it all, your eyes, your eyes Ah-ah-ah -DAVID BOWIE, WHO died Sunday at the age of 69, released more than 20 studio albums (and dozens of singles) during a decades-long career that found him infatuated with everything from starry-eyed space-folk to guitar-hero glam-rock to gurgling electronica. HE released more than 20 studio albums (and dozens of singles) during a decades-long career. David Bowie was the original pop chameleon (although he said he was the opposite-he never fitted in with the crowd--he was a unique individual and a social rebel since the 70s). He's been everything from inoffensive pop singer to the glam icon to white soul man to art-rocker and more in the course of his long prolific career. He was bisexual but was married to the famous model, Iman for many years. Born 1-8-1947 in Boxton, London England UK Died 1 10 2016 in New York City cause of death cancer Spouses Iman, and Angela Bowie Parents, Margaret Mary Jones and Hawood Stenton Jones Children, Duncan Jones and Alexandra Zahra Jones Interesting Trivia~ ~He suffered from heterochromia- two different color eyes ~Dark star (Newtonian mechanics), a theoretical star that has a surface escape velocity that equals or exceeds the speed of light |

Contemporary haiku
Less than seventeen syllables Kigo is humanity: source William Higgenson 500 seasonal words |
By Gypsy Blue Rose
| Author Notes |
Haiku is a type of Japanese poem about nature, usually 17 syllables or less, with two lines connected grammatically, a satori line that can be on the first or the third line, and a kigo. The point of haiku is to offer the reader a mental picture in words. I love the simplicity and beauty of haiku, it's my favorite form of poetry.
-Satori- is a Zen word of sudden enlightenment, an AHA moment in time. -Kigo- is a reference to a season of the year. |
