Hay(na)ku

   "Hay(na)Ku" is a poetry form invented by Eileen Tabios in 2003. Click here for a basic primer and some samples. Quite simply, it is a three line poem, inspired by the Japanese Haiku form, that has one word on the first line, two on the second, and three on the third. Number of syllables is not counted, and rhymes are not required. Here are some of my early attempts:

Winter
Sun shines
On snowy dog.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Unblinking
Staring eyes
Go away cat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

What
Is the
Definition of life?

Is
It simply
A beating heart?

Or
Is there
Some thing more?

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Always
Another room
Endless home improvements.

majik

   Another magnet poetry attempt. This one is an experiment, and I would very much like to hear your comments on it. To play along, visit the Poetry Dance Hall.

Espresso buzz

   Look! The Poetry Dance Hall is once again open for business. Step up to the wickets, and buy your tickets, folks. Two dances for a dollar.
   This week Dawn has challenged us to come up with some fridge magnet poetry. If you've been around, you'll know I've done some of that before. Here is a new one for this latest dance. Check back later, 'cause I'll probably have more.

Grey day

Sun
Among the clouds

I rain

Foolish
To have ever thought
That she
Would shine on me
