Shadows circle my eyes Their half-moon crescents a forceful sign. Sleep is a requisite of the mind. The gentle dream-state The flutter of eyelids. The anaphoric rhyme scheme Of dialetic poets. No real rhythm No actual scheme No sense of hymn A silent dream. A floating cloud Cloaked in mist. A flying shroud Its gentle hiss.

Haiku/Senryu / 3/4/09

I would hesitate in the first stanza to call anything perfect, but that is a choice best left to those who read. In terms of reaching an audience, your poem i...
My general impression is positive. This poem reads smoothly as though each individual line has been mulled over, rolled around, tasted and determined fit for human consumption. I admire your diction and the story flows in an insular way. To the end that your poetry is poetry, I think that the tempo is spot on and the flow (my general impression of how the sentences meld) is done well. I really enjoyed the topic too =) The second stanza is my favorite primarily because the flow from animals to...
