The Quintu Haiku (A Path We Fly)


Five Haiku for you:

— — —

under a full moon
a plan is considered
though unresolved

opportunity
discovering the journey
action without fear

independence
is it just an illusion
of men filled with pride

so nonlinear
the thoughts of him become a
revealing gesture

above a bright sky
imagination sparks
the path that we fly

Post-publishing note: Thanks to Haiku-koo Carnival for including this article in their carnival. Their site is pretty new, but it has the potential to be best blog carnival for haiku poems.

A Profound Little Machine Poem


Just a poem this time.
— — —

the note falls upon the room
retrograde violins coalescing into coolness
an ineffable ambiance

the song plays again

a statement, a reminder
from a little machine called a soul
being moved so far by a little song
pouring
from a little machine called a computer

questions beg through two tiny speakers
filling the small room with piano echoes
filling it with sorrow

the song plays again

the song soothes
and yet makes the room profoundly sad
unearthing memories long forgotten?

tears almost felt
but they’ll never come
a little machine called a soul
feels its gears grind
and wonders why

the song plays again

yet the speakers play only for the soul
the soul that begged them to play
for the song only reflects the soul’s state of mind

so the soul decides to change
and the song ceases to sooth
and the soul begins to dream

the song doesn’t play again
