raindrops

Trees On Here (First Haiku, ca. '19)




Trees On Here (First Haiku of 2019)

 

Raindrops have been drained

Taking things with it on earth

Life demystified









Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is just a first ever attempt at composing a "haiku" (a Japanese poem/poetic style or form, described as traditionally evoking nature—according to my mobile device's built-in definition).  It is, in fact, my first ever haiku this year (the year 2019).  The poem was meant to be an affected poem, since it was originally done with little clue about the Japanese mindset & was considered to be a practice poem batched with another similar poem (my first ever "tanka" composition: Trees In The Green).  The motivation for it was neither considered meaningful nor entirely meaningless, also (to be quite descriptive about its neutralist view of the whole process).  Not meaningful in that the metaphor might not really consist a significant/insignificant part among the majority of my entry posts; but just by virtue of, admittedly, trying to make this type of a poem for its objective praxis.  Therefore my compositional skills is on its experimental stages.  Please kindly bear with me.

The Raindrops

The rain has ceased long ago,


Yet the leaves have so lovingly,


Embraced the raindrops,


Letting them kiss the earth slowly!

 


The leaves cannot stand the moment,


The raindrops bid them goodbye,


They shed tears with no sound,


For more drops they request the sky!


 

But the sky has its own caprice,


In time it will craft another masterpiece!

COWS AND CHINCHILLAS


Cows and chinchillas

find a world mean and chilly

in the fur stores and the

con carne chili.

LILY'D BOGS


Immersed in fog

in the lily'd bog

live polliwogs

before they're frogs

 

In Italian woods

goes Francis unshod

on the path

to oneness with God

ORGANIC


Anything which kills

little bug beings

can accumulate

to kill big beings.

WHEN RAINDROPS FALL DOWN


When raindrops

fall down

they sometimes

leave crowns

as the descent

of grace

does fearfulness

erase.

just poetic

...................

 

 

and the words fell onto the page 

 

just as silently as he aged

 

a lost memory is regained

 

when the truth is revealed 

 

and the rains rain

 

 

everything happens in good time

 

life certainly has it's own way to rhyme

 

don't you wish you were still young

 

and could feel the pleasure of the past's rain upon your tongue?

 

 

how does it feel 

 

to live this lie?

 

knowing you'll carry this

 

til your final goodbye

RAINDROPS

Outside a moderate rain

had begun to fall

something tapped softly

on my wndow

a raindrop captured my

attention.
