Zarif Haikus Week 2

 

The words I never said

Always counter the established

Truth will set you free

 

Twin glocs aimed-

Straight at my head no

Turning back now

 

Death comes unexpectedly

Life flashing before my eyes

Is is worth seeing

 

Wearing a sombrero with

No clothes on, waving, smiling

Strange sight in Baruch

 

Immaculate rays shining

Warm breeze with green leaves

A mid summer nights dream

 

My skills transcend these

Lines that are on paper I’m

An emcee go figure

 

Shes scared doesn’t know

What to keep and what to put away

Looks like Brenda’s got a baby

  1. Waves splash against the shore
    Darkness fills the air
    Creating peace and tranquility

  2. One reoccurring theme throughout your two weeks of haikus seems to include descriptive language followed by a concluding sentence. In several of your haikus, it seems like you describe a moment or an experience, and in the last line come to some sort of conclusion regarding what you have seen. One such example is your haiku that concludes that nature is unbound. In a few of your poems you seem to follow a theme of nature, such as those regarding “growing wild flowers”. In some of your other haikus, you seem to portray a very real and genuine observation of the world. One such haiku is that in which you wrote about the truth setting you free. Just like your pictures portray a very genuine and real picture of your environment and your hometown, your poems seem to speak the truth and evoke authentic emotions. This week I wrote the poem above as I feel like it follows a similar theme to that which you have previously followed. I began the haiku by describing the atmosphere and then concluding that the aforementioned charachteristics create a peaceful environment.
