fuzzy sublime trees
mirrored in an autumn lake
cold weather comes soon

(eh...it was an attempt)

Nice guys and YES, they are repeats. I'm giving up on them. I know they could inspire different poems, with a little thought, but if you've done them once, the thrill is gone! lol

Don't think I saw this one.

To skim the white slopes
above the clouds, is to find
momentary wings.

Are we still doing traditional Japanesse rules, or have we loosened up to Keroac style?

Mlou · Postby **Mlou** » Mon Apr 18, 2005 8:13 am

Do any style you like, Kex! We go with the traditional only on those particular posted pictures that require the strict 5-7-5.

Today's pic:

High on the clifftop
like a new sunrise dawning
lighthouse sweeps the dusk.

Nibble the flower
of life...savor the sweetness
for it is soon gone.

In frozen, quiet
crystal cave, winter slumber's
peace for nature's rest

My daughter and I did this one together.

Windows open on
the misty world of magic
hiding her secrets.

I'm missing my wordtrip "fix" :cry:

. Too busy with 2 jobs right now

In the caves of ice
I endure, waiting only
the touch of spring.

By the flowing waters
I wept for all that is past
and cannot return.

In the bright rainbow
proof that the Lord remembers
his promise to men.

Small tiger dreaming
whatever tigers dream of
in captivity

Rain Turnout

Searching vainly they
must escape the drowning rain
the sidewalks are pink

Mlou · Postby **Mlou** » Mon Apr 25, 2005 9:19 pm

Hey, transcendental, Cheese! pink sidewalks :-D

hmmm, supposed to be about when it rains and worms come out. I guess it needs more work... :-L

Mlou · Postby **Mlou** » Thu Apr 28, 2005 3:46 pm

Maybe a different title? The Worm Turns?

Sky-colors floating
water mirrors real. What is
real, what illusion?

MIRROR SUNSET

Earth seeks heaven's glow
yet cannot hold its beauty
but for a moment.

Mlou · Postby **Mlou** » Tue May 03, 2005 1:37 pm

Drifting like a hawk,
earth sliding away below...
Oh, to lie on air!

Mlou · Postby **Mlou** » Sat May 07, 2005 10:22 am

Silent sentinels
through winter's bitter weather
green pines promise spring

The violet wears
a fragile living jewel,
bright wings of beauty.

Mlou · Postby **Mlou** » Sat May 14, 2005 10:05 am

Water holding sky
blue and silver reflections
one serene white swan

Hey Mlou... have you ever thought of putting the links to the PIM and other places you get your poetry ideas from into you signature line?

Mlou · Postby **Mlou** » Sat May 14, 2005 1:59 pm

Jill...you KNOW I'm a dunce about doing things. When you move to New England you can give me lessons. I sure could use some. There are far more (frustrating) things I don't know how to do, than things I can do.
So, no, I haven't thought about it.

(And I don't know that I'd actually want to be prominently linked to "that" place, scam city.)

Good point.
