Ki-Anne and Hay(nu)ku

 Ki-Anne

 daydreams quietly 

of sawing cedar

The aroma rises

from the

cut

Mindlovemisery's Menagerie with B&P Shadorma & Beyond challenges us with a new form of poetry writing today.  This is a hay(nu)ku with a reverse, I think. Sharing it with Open Link Night at  dVerse~Poets Pub.

Sharing Yourself With Open Link Night

I may stand buck naked
But you'll never see my soul
Glimpses
Or hints of who I am
Will peek out
Only to run quickly
And hide
When you look
I may stand buck naked
But you'll never see my soul

Open Link Night Week 96...

dVerse Poets is giving free rein to creativity in this poetic adventure.  Your subject, your style, your creation...enjoy the contributions from many.

Two weeks of  reflections
Entertained
By a Greg Iles page turning thriller
Iced with Tiger's Curse
And Water For Elephants

A week plus two with illness
And pills with allergic reactions
And probing needles
Finished by misaligned back
And pockets full of pain

Free style nonsense
Patterned after insanity
Lay on pages
Crying out to be dissected
And critiqued

Many will gallantly try to find
Beauty and balance in these lines
Of purely crafted nonsense
And say, "Oh, how beautiful"
While I ice pack my ass

Waiting for the pain meds
To kick in.
Chocolate
Caffeine
And Kindness make it tolerable.
