1.
if you see a man
with a purple dotted sash
then best leave him be
2.
brittle long weeds wave
at me, as a breeze begins
to blow through your hair
3.
a touch of red drips
down the back of my knuckle
I want summer now
4.
four layers I wear
yet still this cold sweeps through me
fingers still immobile
5.
these are matters which
appear explicable thus
intelligible
– Marya Ophir
I have always had a certain fondness for haiku and other forms of Japanese verse. Glad to have read some more here. It’s sometimes confusing whether its the form or the poet that makes haiku so expressive. Anyway, I liked these quite. Hope you can come over to my blog some time.
I checked out your blog. It looks great. Thank you the link. I’ve added it to my RSS reader. Thank you also for your kind comments.
