To be continued....
You have hit your haikuing stride!
ReplyDeleteThe series reads like a "swirling storm" "open outwards" til - the "merge", or maybe even more.
Keep going -
I like how this flows from that last word to the first of each succeeding haiku. Looking forward to the TBC.
ReplyDeleteThis says much without taking up a lot of words.
ReplyDeleteYou've made every word count there.
ReplyDeleteI have read some of your posts. There were Zen Moments in my life when I used to visit OSHO in seventies and eighties. I would like to revisit your writing.
ReplyDeleteIf you like short stories and paintings, then a visit to my blogs would be an interesting one for you.

great talent...
ReplyDeleteThis rocks.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome...I love how you let the last word carry you forward to the next thought. So cleverly written and filled with meaning!
ReplyDeleteThis flows very nicely.
ReplyDeletei like this style alot :)
ReplyDeleteGotta love this free feeling - great job - I'll watch for the next...
ReplyDeletebtw, Wagner twittered this and I twittered Poetry Train Revisited.
Essential and pure!
ReplyDeleteI like the daisy-chained haiku form you are building. Wonderful creativity.
ReplyDeletevery good.
ReplyDeletethey are all so ... zen beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words!
ReplyDeletewhat an interesting way of doing it! I'm looking forward to the rest. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to say something here that I've been thinking about for a long time now, and just go and say it,'cause I think you can take it! And I wouldn't say anything, but by commenting on my blog, you've opened the door, and of course it's my experience, no one else's...that I know of.
ReplyDeleteI love your words, they are at times pure sun, but you're distracting me by leaving poetic comments on other blogs...that you're inspired in writing them is fantastic, but shouldn't you post them on your blog and say: Inspired by and give the link. Because by doing what you do, which in principle is lovely, you take away from the poet's blog that I'm visiting at that moment...
Of course I'd mind my own business but you've done it on mine, so I feel the right to say so. You are a great poet. Must you respond in poetry to people's poem...LIke I say maybe others love it, but I don't, it distracts me fromt the poet I'm visiting at that moment.
Having said that, I like your style ;)
Lorraine, your photographs inspire me as much as your words. However, no more instant haiku from me on YOUR blog space.
ReplyDelete:)
I enjoy when my haiku inspire you to leave your own poems in return. It helps build a spot - for gatherings.
ReplyDeleteI agree, however, that if you post those poems back to your own blog, it is important to acknowledge the inspiration through a link.
Keep 'em coming.
so interesting, gautami!
ReplyDeletethis is a poetry train. :)
it reminds me of something similar we did at an old poetry forum. some member will start a new verse using the last line of the preceding poem that was posted. the results can be hilarious but it was all fun. :)

The first one is excellent! (Not to say the others aren't too!)
