Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

unguarded wonder

a moon so intense

I imagine heroin

unguarded wonder

my mind immersed in brightness

trying to find my way home

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

SenHai-Saturday (the moon and my mind)

the moon turns its face

and the sea mourns salty tears

as summer burns hot

 

harmonic breaking

turmoil as a design flaw

my chaotic mind

 Thanks to Susi for the great prompt to create one senryu and one haiku to accompany the image (above). As a remember, a traditional haiku describes nature or a season, while a senryu focuses on human nature and emotions.

 

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

When the Moon Beckons

When the moon beckons
Let yourself rise in the light
Uninhibited

Uninhibited
Let yourself rise in the light
When the moon beckons

When the moon beckons
Let yourself rise in the light
Emancipated

Not sure if this is any kind of actual poetic form or just three separate haiku strung together but I like it (them) and it (they) captures my feelings about the lovely photo that Susi provided at I Write Her.
