Sometimes I just want to live in a house with a large garden and pond that has koi fish swimming in it and Lilly pads where frogs sleep. All so I can write poetry whilst sitting beside it
Dancing in the rain
A drained soul now addicted
To the cold downpours
That begin in May
And lead on into Summer
And turn to snow in winter

純粋な焔は無くておよぐ指 (no pure flame, just waving fingers) /
@umiumasenryu
A newborns soft hands
Reaching out to its mother
Like little blue flames /

#川柳
An eclipse
Only once in a lifetime
Twice in a lifetime
#川柳
(I was in the path of totality in the last solar eclipse, and I am in the path of totality for this one!)
Breathe with the water
Let it consume your body
Dont try to survive
Let it hold you soft
As you fall beneathe the waves
Seafoam fills your lungs
Breathe with the ocean
Let it carry your body
Never let it go
#俳句
War lights the night sky,
What have we done to ourselves
Must we sleep through this?
Must we soak in the blood of
our children, our own future?

花束に毛布をもう一枚かける (put another blanket over the flowers) /
@umiumasenryu
Freshly bloomed lilies
Packaged in a blanket of
Clear plastic /

My body
Has a tendency
To stop in the middle of an action
It goes
One limb at
At time, most of the times this happens
I think
Im consumed by
My own energy, if not the environment
But also
I dont want
To go on looking like a statue
Life just doesn't seem
To be the destiny of
What I have become
Its not like I can take back
Or erase the words I wrote
How does one erase
What is written in the pen
Of people like me
Held by shaking hands, crying,
Or maybe praying to die
Am I allowed to use more paper?
