It looks like foam is hosting the event. No longer a contest, not necessarily on a regular schedule. Just a freelance bit of writing, open to any and all. Except YOU! :p Well, okay, you too. Go over and play, or read, as you will. I hadn't been posting, if more because other things were taking up all of my concentration. I do enjoy posting, though, so will begin doing that again.

gift themselves, not a burden
decade of helpers

offered in deceit - no way
to know - only in time
piano, person
to tickle requires a
will and surely - way

It doesn't just look like it, I am hosting. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour haiku are like little snippets of descriptive truths!
I enjoy when you post visuals with your 'ku.
Well, you know me. I'll... think about whether you are, or are not, hosting for a little longer, before I decide. :p
ReplyDeleteAs to being descriptive truths? Not sure how else haiku, poetry, or writing otherwise might come out. Not questioning you, curious of... what else you think is there? I have been trying to... tone down, depersonalize, my haiku. I think my native style really turns some people off? Especially haiku traditionalists? (Or those who think they are, I see many flaws in their works, by traditional haiku, mind you.) Still... I'm giving less personal, more natural, flow, a chance.
I love posting them and finding pictures as well. That the effort is enjoyed helps getting me going on that. Crazy what you can find that matches the poems. I never, or very rarely, change my poems to match the pictures. And I don't find the pictures first, poems first, pictures after. It's almost like a puzzle. Definitely glad you enjoy. I'll keep at it.
I think you should just be yourself with the haiku.
ReplyDeleteFine, but I won't share these other than here. If you want it (or them, as they may or may not pop), think it is worth posting at the event, your call.
ReplyDeleteTruth and justice, eh? I don't think I need an example of how that would be implemented. :-) it brings back to mind, when I named my fists hospital and cemetery.
ReplyDeleteI was a wee tyke,of course,when I did that.
Feel free to post it on my blog if you want. It is nice and dark and rather doomsterish.
Very well. Just wanted to be sure.
ReplyDeleteUhrm, I really didn't name them, or like the names given. Seemed presumptuous, even to the me of that time (which IS saying something). Which is why the bastards played that card until it stuck in my craw, and memory. Brotherly love is an... well... oxymoron, of a twisted sort. I miss it.
They still work. I just pray they are as retired as I am. Mostly. *le sighe* Love that burn, innit?
