FEBRUARY POETS
Night’s Haiku
By
In restless dreams where
Stranger’s lips are whispering
Words I can’t quite hear Willows and Flowers
Stranger’s lips are whispering
Words I can’t quite hear Willows and Flowers

Pale Lilies adorn
Clear ornamental glass bowl
Reflecting her faceSilver combs fastened
Ebony chignon, against nape
A stray strand lingers Resplendent red silk
Kimono sashed white obi
Willows and flowersDarting glance, black fringe
Licking her scarlet red lips
Long Butterfly lashFrom her bare shoulder
A swallow tattoo flutters
In eternal flightTinkling bracelets shine
Tiny fans hang glittering
From sparrow thin wristsPale Lilies remain
Clear ornamental glass bowl
Her reflection gone

Doesn't it seem there's a revivial in poetry? Not so much with the poets, but with the readers and the listeners? It seems to me that there's a greater audience now in place to appreciate the art.
Yes, I agree with you Michael. Oddly, the very thing we attack for destroying attention spans and polluting an entire generation with illiteracy is in fact, responsible for a sort of renaissance poetically and artistically. As a poet I find the immediacy of this medium a gift but of course curse is that to get to the art you must wade through a few feet of muck. It's lovely to have you here and to read your comment, please visit again.
Hi Elizabeth. I really like your use of water and colour. Your poetry has a vividness that makes the emotion contained in it come to life. Terrific!
Hi Feltsensejunkie. I really like your use of colour. There is a poignancy to your work that is quite moving. Very well done!
Hi Jennifer. An exquisite piece. Delicate, almost ethereal imagery. The sparrow thin wrists provide such a striking image!
Hi Selma, Thanks so much for your thoughtful comments. I am pleased you enjoyed my work.
Hi Marsha. You have just covered two of my favourite subjects - sitting in a tinny and watching a crane. Love both poems. I love the image of the village scurrying at the back of the seabird. That is fantastic!
Hi Steve. You present very powerful images. Your poetry has a great impact. Really like the line - 'the Dove has hope encased in his thin black collar.' Oh, yes.
Hi Jessica. Beautiful work. 'And Speak of Shadows' is just glorious. And I can relate to your 'Occupy' poem...
Hi Selma, thank you kindly! My first comment :)
Hi, Guy. I really like your poetry. Your image of the turquoise water between exposed rocks is just gorgeous. Very, very nice!
Thank you selma, very happy to hear that.
Lovely words..........for me they create paintings. Great to read your work here!
