Hello Bring4thers!
There is a short form of poetry created by the Japanese, called Haiku. A traditional form of it goes as so:
Old Pond
A frog jumps in
-the sound of water
By Matsuo Basho
They take the reader to one moment in their imagination.
In 3 lines or less, they relay an occurrence or relation between entities: animals, weather, season, place, items, structure, etc. very simply.
I invite anyone to post haikus they have written and / or ones they like.
Here are some that I enjoy:
A fallen flower
returning to the branch?
It was a butterfly
The snow of yesterday
that fell like cherry blossoms
is water once again
no escaping it
I must step on fallen leaves
to take this path
Here are some I've written:
Trickling from dark soil,
a creek emerges
beneath silent Oaks
Cold silent night.
Where are they?
A leaf drops
The darkest tempest
overseen by a billion stars
-the sight of lightning
Brisk morning by foot
empty handed samurai
longs for nothing more
