Who By Fire?

This is my forty-first dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena.

This is my final entry for the Vocal Quadru-Haiku Challenge which you can read about below.

The main criteria are here

Write haiku inspired by any or all of the four elements: earth, water, air, fire.

My friend Lee also told me that the seasons should be implied rather than named, so I will try and apply that concept in these four haiku.

You can read my first entry by following the link at the end of this which also provides a fuller definition of the requirements for haiku.

The music I have chosen is "Who By Fire?" by Leonard Cohen which also provided inspiration for this piece from the sadly missed poet and performer.

Bright Flowers Blooming

To Mark Your Vicious Drowning

In A Water Butt

🖤💀🖤

Then Burned By Hot Fire

Heat Of The Sun Charred Your Skin

A Blackened Carcass

🖤💀🖤

Brown Leaves Are Falling

Covering Your Grave Interred

Under The Dug Earth

🖤💀🖤

Suffocated By

Lack Of Air In Your Freezing

Final Place Of Rest
