Here is a poem that I wrote, made up of four Haiku poems made into stanzas.
Since Haiku is a Japanese poem that is usually about nature, I thought about flowers. With the arrival of Spring, I thought that rain and flowers were good topics to start with. From there, the picture below gave me more inspiration, and this poem was formed. Dreary, rainy day;
Black clouds, grey skies, heavy air,Clingy wetness and cold.
The sky, illuminating
The dark scene below.
Thunder soon follows,
An immense drum sounding its
Boom throughout the air.
A pink flower blooms,
A small beacon of beauty In a dreary world.
- G.L. Schilbe

I enjoy your haikus, they are very meaningful!
ReplyDeleteGreat contrasts here Gwen. The dark tone established in stanza on and three work well to enhance the intensity of colour and beauty contained in the blooming pink flower--Strong visual imagery!
