perfect haiku
nature comes through verse
comforting warm like the sun;
till the cutting line.
bad hiaku
the badly written
seeks to claim many praises;
still, the best humbles.
stalk
meandering pain
pain ebbs toward me,
like a slow river bending;
I broke with the fall.
unkissable
but a kiss would taste,
sweet lips and loving touches;
the kiss was refused
nature of love
nature speaks my love,
his love speaks of his nature;
love spurns my nurture...
passion
fire burns in love
the kindle dances with heat
till embers fall cold
underfoot
the flower opens
the bloom welcomes the shadow
the flower is crushed.
tsunami
the power of the sea,
dousing hills with moist sparkles;
death drowns, tears glisten.
the nothingness
the sound of nothing,
is impossible to hear.
Silence can be heard.
life shines through the leaf;
leaves fall to the ground softly;
under leaves death shades.
fated
fate whispers in winds
hopes fail in fait accompli
whispers fade to blank
undecided...
words through natures verse
keeps a hold in our hearts mind
perfect even when not.
I could not stay away from
I could not stay away from visiting this one again. I love good Haiku and Tanka, and these are very obvious in their greatness, but also very subtle in that same greatness; a paradox like the kind enjoyed in Haiku and Tanka. Each of these compress so much observation, and even implied backstory, into the small space that Haiku requires---and the mystery that resonates around them make them very attractive. I am not expert in Haiku, or even in Tanka; just an ardent amateur, that's me; but I would recommend these Haiku to any poet wishing to study the form.

SSmoothie, these are great
I have always searched
with hot eyes tainted and seared
for well-written haikus.
(And I have found some now. Some of these left me speechless, and lost in a zen world of thought. I have to say, I love these!)
Cheers,
