Japanesepoetry Stories

I fell for the warmth that knew it wouldn't last.

The city of thorns glowed with electric sorrow.

I feel the way your metaphors glow but the label that held you is gone.

When the mist subsided, your eyes found me again.

I feel everything more than I admit.

I wandered among the resting and found beauty where sorrow grows.

Through snow I move, but with you the world becomes an ocean to surf together.

I will stand beside you as the evidence that you were never imagined, you were always inevitable.

People stayed far from you, the rare one yet my hand brushed you, and I witnessed the fragile bliss they never saw.

I have folded my wings so you may fly.

I'd weather every storm just to guard you.

I hoped for your return, your warmth, your embrace, your soft whispers, and I have been waiting in silence for you.

Sunset comes and goes but I remain next to you.

I watch the sands vanish, blinking away my own existence.

17 Syllables, 3 lines and a wave of emotions. Haikus are Japanese poetry and like most japanese poetry, haiku does not focus on the rhyme but rather on the syllables. This style, in particular, uses 5-7-5 syllable format. As a person who is most comfortable in free verse, I am now venturing on to delivering ideas in a short and structured style. Even if we fail even if we keep losing may we persevere Themes vary from self love, self appreciation to nature, it would really mean a lot if you could give it a shot :))

We learned how to write simple Japanese poetry when we were in junior or primary, middle or high school. I think I have a notebook full of these nature (and sometimes not because I am a rebel and a deviant) poems. Someone told me to publish some of it. Here goes nothing...love it or hate, do I even care? She who left read my poorly constructed poetry proudly. Left us all kaput.
