I know this thread belongs to Stormee who started it, but I have to say applause and bravo to you, as this seems to be very much in the style of John Cooper Clarke, and I LOVE IT!!! (edits to laugh in real life and to add captures the zeitgeist). Edited April 6, 2020 by Marigold Devin Oh so worthy of a word I never use - zeitgeist - probably out of context. D- must do better !

Chic Aeon Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) daffodils reach out in the bright morning sun a mother's grave marked For those that do not know -- Quote A traditional Japanese haiku is a three-line poem with seventeen syllables, written in a 5/7/5 syllable count. Often focusing on images from nature, haiku emphasizes simplicity, intensity, and directness of expression.

With there being nothing pretty about the Coronavirus, then it would always be a challenge to stick strictly to the Japanese intent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seicher Rae Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 This isn't my photo, but it is a photo very similar to the river that is about 10 yards away from my apartment. I listen to it 24/7. It is a lovely white noise that can be meditative if I let it. Rapids roar outside Mimics turbulence inside Go still my seeker 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extra kudos. Simply outstanding. ETA After ten years of reading your posts, imho, you have found yourself. And articulated such in 17 syllables. Again, absolutely perfect. You touched me.
