Haibun قصص

~ nature poems, mostly ~

[Published under 8Letters] ❝Are you doing well?❞ A very simple question, but hard to answer. Melancholia is a collection of haiku that echoes the sentiments of the young generation today, who have silently fought hard lately in order to survive. These youths happened to live in a sad generation with happy faces; they tend to be strong and independent. Nonetheless, they cried in silence due to the constant anxiety they felt, the loneliness they tried to ignore every night, and the fear of not meeting any expectations in life. Why only to survive and not live? Sadly, living is quite expensive, and everyone in this vicious and unjust society cannot afford it easily.

My own little hybrid 5-7-5. Loosely ruled and written, properly, in the past.

俳句をまた掻きました。英詩の韻とかむずすぎんよ......

A rogue works alone. A collection of different types of poems.

Haiku about love, pain, life, nature and everything else. I write 3-5-3 and 5-7-5 structures. Occasionally, I might take a lenience with extra syllable count if I think the haiku is better that way.

The poetry of Impermanence

This is a senryu about writer's block and frustration

Twelve extremely personal senryu about my life and past. These works were handpicked because of their personal subject matter, provocative nature and representation of me. This is my final senryu collection on wattpad. I put these collections out to organize and bring some conclusions to a lot of work I've done so I can move on emotionally. These collections truly are a representation of the best of my work over the past 5 years. As always, breakdowns of every poem will be posted soon, for now enjoy the collection alone. please share your thoughts and comments welcomed. thank you for reading<3 the picture is of me and my boyhood dog Maggie.

Haibun poem about my school pigrimmage to Taizé many years ago from my current Christian Gnostic perspective.

Genres: Poetry/Historical. Summary: This collection of haibun, inspired by the prints of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892), delves into the Floating World of 19th century Japan when it marched into modernity, losing part of its artistic character in the process. Yoshitoshi was the last great master of ukiyo-e whose visionary courage gave new inspiration to a dying art. I'll attempt to revive part of his world in this collection. Hope you enjoy! Status: On-going...
