Senryū Soliloquy 1


Senryū Soliloquy 1



updraft

riding drafty
currents of air shifting down
and round this old house


bucket

a receptacle
for rain that's collectible|
to wash raven hair


sponge

drinking it all in
soaking the sun's bleeding rays |
sopping up the shine


ferocious

precocious their love
growly with fangs and claws
their deepest indigo


risk

risking a tryst
with an old love that surfaced
sailing on fantasy


ablaze

brick house all ablaze
razed to the ground ~ done in
by a book of matches


marble

lost her marbles
soon after knuckling down
went home with one cat's eye


jellyfish

jiggly neon nymphs
extraterrestrial visitors
monitoring seas


rice

rivers of pudding
food for the hungry masses
mighty white delight

sight

twice sided vision
valuable and varied
the ways ~ that we see
