Japanese poetry is fascinating with it's format of syllables (5,7,5) it's actually amazing how little words can actually mean more.

A book containing different forms of poetry and prose. :) Poetry#44 on 11th Dec 2014 :)

This MEDLEY consists of a TEMPOEM, a LIMERICK, a SENRYU, an ACROSTIC and a CINQUAIN. Because of my love for rhyme I decided to compile this collection of different forms on the same theme. I hope you will enjoy these original, unusual poems.

Nine Senryu and Haiku on the subject of life and our place in it. I have specifically selected these works for this collection and feel they all share this common theme from my body of work. as always, a breakdown will soon be included on each poem, for now here is the work itself. please leave your thoughts and comments welcomed, thanks for reading.

-Haiku- A Japanese poem/verse consisting of seventeen syllables, most often composed, in English versions, of three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables. " It's not a long read But would mean the world to me Do this much for me? " #Book 3 in Haikuing Through Series.

Scary haikus with some based on horror films, liminal space/backrooms, as well as nightmares/night terrors I had as a kid. I stick to the strict 5-7-5 syllable structure as I feel it's more fun and challenging for me. Also, when finished, I would love to make these into a book with illustrations. :)
