Encouragingly
Sunlight pierces the grey clouds
Yet we curse the sweat
in sudden sunlight
forest glitters after rain
droplets hit wet ground
whipbird cracks silence
in the bright morning’s stillness
where is he hiding?
Magpie chick, that was
one fractious peep too many
your parent has flown
Hi, if I may, I'd like to post a link to a website that explains the rules for a new poetic form. It's related to haiku in as much as syllables are important, more important certainly than in haiku, where as Kat has explained, the 5/7/5 rule is not actually correct.
Anyhow, if you love counting syllables, and you love the challenge of severe editing, check this out: http://www.quazen.com/Arts/Literature/Cordonostic-Poem.52494
drip, drip, drip
husband and hose,
not rain
beach erosion
cut to
sandcliff playground
market day Sunday
car park full
of jelly beans
bronze dragon
strides -
movement and stillness
bark cracks
lizard comes out
I run after it
ball of white
with brown points –
seeds of needle burr
birds flap and squawk –
sea eagle
plummets and plucks
Glorious blooms
of spring from slumber
flowers surge amongst thee
magpie's fierce hunts
this feathered t-rex
dinosaur DNA evident
crackle snap
snap bang –
thunder
