New Year Haiku and Tanka Poems
As a sorta New Year's resolution I've decided that I'm going to start writing and posting more. And actually finishing the stuff I start. Make my journal a less lame place to be. Make it a writing journal as most people on LJ do. So I'm posting some haiku and tanka poems that I wrote a little while ago as a testament of that.
1)Circumnavigate
Different path, different journey
Always ends with you
2)The rain comes down harsh
Upon the land that needs it
But when it freezes
The rain decends sweet and slow
Giving land soft white kisses
3)The snow falls down slow
Holding bated breath I wait
Is it cold outside?
4)The path is dark now
Shadows steal my guiding light
I will find my way
5)Your eyes are cloudy
A storm rages within you
The weather will change
Your eyes will finally see
They shine brightest in the sun
6)The river is dark
Murky, deep and very cold
Wait, for very soon
The waters will clear again
I will swim in its warmth
7)The land seems barren
But care for it and in time
You will reap rewards
Patience will be rewarded
With the most beautiful blooms
8)Walk very slowly
The candle in hand flickers
It must not go out
9)Sit by the window
See your breath fog the glass
Sign of life within
10)Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap
Sure feet move across the floor
A blur of color
Look, graceful patterns take place
Movement becomes a story
11)Looking in the crowd
Blurry figures surround you
You are all I see
