JAPANESE-STYLED SHORT- FORM POETRY
Folder:
Haiku all these lines
signing themselves
onto my face
the ugly signature many use
to cash a fortune
"another mad dog"
mom tells friend
as daughter cries
of disturbed sleep
the door she (mom) lightly closes
iraq
behind sad stories
all the similar muslim prayers
of friends and foes alike
still saddam feels god is
on his side
new year
the wishes i have learnt
not to make
i fight my own rage
this battle i attempt
to achieve a realised self
unaffected by things
within and without
first day of year
all these wishes
that never come true
i listen to hindu mantras
to better my karma
honeymooners
roomboy makes sure
"do not disturb" sign is at door
michael jackson's
latest -
gel and whip
a woman's bathroom
mirror, mirror
everywhere
dream
to shortcut
time
rock river
the water swirls and twists
between boulders
the ugly girl
and her t-shirt printed
"dont judge book by its cover
after so many deaths
and still bothered by
the where after question?
the warmth that at least
in this, humanity shares common ground
that pang of loneliness
strikes as she reaches
for his hands
year after year, she longs for
those little hands to hold between themselves
the roses paint
themselves bright red
the river paints the
sky over and over
the artist adds his own dimensions to these
punctuality
he always sets his time
ten minutes late
harvest
leaving some apples behind
for aesthetics
fallen swallow
claws and looks
towards sky
forest resort
waiting to share our food
monkeys on trees
in the wind
the river paints the sky
over and over
business round
the cabby counts his notes
on the steering wheel
through sleepy eyes
her sensuous roman goddess'
features refresh my mind
this goddess that moves
heaven and earth for me
birds in the park
do they miss the old woman
who didnt turn up today?
rough japanese
women pushing souvenirs
mount fuji
after the storm
a headless snowman
still standing
telling the persistent
crockery salesman
i am selling the same stuff
