samku = my take on Haiku after reading piles of Basho, Kerouac, and Haas Haiku over the last few months.


you are all free to experiment with samku

Samku--
no syllabic parameters,  just terse imagery brushing together strokes of the natural world and humanity with seasonal overtones or undertones, or tonal qualities
the wealth of your life
is in the love that you sow
and gently nurture
Senryu
seize everything
that is precious to me
and steal it away
yet I will still be rich
for you can never take
the love within my heart
that will always be there
as long as I live

unexpected beauty

nothing wasted

rising from ashes

like the phoenix. ..

poetry

like grapes...pressed

from life's joy, pain, and sorrow.

I'm the cold hard ground
But she is the gentle rain
That makes flowers grow
