Senryū Soliloquy 3

level

flattened to the floor
bulldozer mentality
knocked out in one blow

fissure

mama magma breaks
surface splits to release her
molten red blood boils

sway

be blown to and fro
rhythmically challenged salvo~
prairie grass dancers


parched

licked lips, cracked and split
while dreaming an oasis
drop skipped the mirage

boot

jackboots a message
cruelty in their dark hardness
of country well-heeled


brambles

oh prickly dog rose
scrambling to cling and brush~
blackberries bleeding

arch

line lifted eyebrows
perplexing convexity
a span of bird wings


difficult

laborious sun
a puzzling stargazer
orbiting cosmos


eternity

an eternity
galaxy's deep nebulae
in the endless dark

gravity

his body attracts
her center, a mighty force |
field of Spring greens gone


wind chimes

North wind helps sound rhymes
in glass chimes outside my door
your name in my ear


sublime

rhymes that do not try
but cry and ring anyway
that sail purple skies


wax

a honeycomb home
so full of love and sunshine
yellow and sticky


weather

her temperature
below zero but rises
sizes up the scene
