Haiku Unchained

Recommended Posts

The leopard sage harkened for the light of Iblis, unchained from his breast.

 

The beast within decimated by chariots of Pan, pinged through with the heat of Abzu

 

Call that Cusp of Revolution.

Beavis and Butt-Head

won't take it personally

when called a dumb-ass

 

if Lao Tzu calls you,

don't lament lack of value

in being straw dogs.

A red bullfinch globe

in a snow-covered tree branch.  

Thoughts of my homeland.

watching the watcher

hearing sounds of listening 

feelings feel themselves sensing the senses

 

a painting is painted

a canvas floods with color 

painter paints with brush in hand

 

space dissolves to black and white

till one remains

Still the painter paints

cinco palabras

silencio es de oro

¡ciertamente!

 

In the spirit of this thread,

syllabic rules now put to bed,

and speaking on in verse,

much more wordy but still terse,

I will try to keep in time,

and maintain a simple rhyme,

to illuminate a subject,

that as long as no bums object,

will indulge a mystery,

that of course is plain to see.

watching in silence

as nine stars orbit freely

heavens harmony

Peering into the depth of the well

I perceive a vermillion mineral

crystallizing between the rocks

 

Gathering them into the cauldron

suspending above the furnace

I begin to refine the ore
