The Rise of the Lower
Haiku Writer's Challenge
The vermin in square
How dare they tell bitter truth
As if they know it
***
How dare better stare
Say may I and perfect it
Bow makers say what
***
Truth or dare the sport
Functions high know thy purpose
Door shut on puppets
***
Clarity never
Is a bitter doubt because
There is none here too
***
Time divides the want
Creeps opportunists to watch
Sea encapsulate
***
Brought to rise bitters
Never does wine water hope
Symbient grapes know calm
***
Fortunes ride no more
Secret dips in water front
Power punch a girl will you?
***
Eighteen years counting
Time capsule makes hard or soft
Futures tide plenty

Free Form Poetry
The love of poetry begins at insight. Making the known or the impossible to know appealable to the senses. The pure expression of an art form in words. The perfection in simplicity or complex subject matter shining through. The early bards knew it so did Walt Whitman, T.E. Hulme, Richard Aldington, Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot, to name a few. So if meter and rules have you going cross-eyed relax in the sphere of thought and let it roll. Let's not forget this classical approach to poetry.
