Here I am placing my meager attempts at "Haiku". Please forgive my butchery of this lovely artform. I would like to get good enough to try my hand at "Renga" and "Haibun". Traditionaly "Haiku" should have a "kigo", season-word in it. I will most likely write "haiku" about things I deal with at work, love, despair and nature. "Renga" is linked poetry usually 36 stanzas or less, two or three lines in length, of no particular syllable count. "Haibun" are two or more linked "Haiku".
Haiku
Cool refreshing mist,
Wind drops sting my face,
Rising sun showers.
A. Sutton, 1998
Dark frothy ambrosia,
Staggers my senses,
Irish libation.
A. Sutton, 1998
Loves broken dreams,
Swollen eyes, battered heart,
Masculine rampage.
A. Sutton, 1998
Loves Sweet Promise,
Tender vows, sworn to in Spring,
Can easily die by winter,
If taken for granted.
