Hey everyone!!


The following writes are called Senryu/kyoka writes
Translated into English: Mad Poem
The lighter form of poetry. A poetry with few rules if any
Can be satirical-serious-bawdy -or just silly!
Kyoka is for poets who like to have fun and add to their style!
It's sort of a modern English Haiku


examples:


Celibacy
Sounded like a fine idea
Until that last beer...
H. Anderson



The undertaker smiles
And pats his belly
Never short of clients
B. Brill



Newborn
Tiny hands
Clench
I kiss them
While still pure
D. Garrison



The phone
Rings in the night
I answer
To love
In my ear
Tammy





Now I nvite you to submit your Kyoka!!

The clown
Painted in the rainbow
Twinkling eyes
Cries in the night

Lincoln Park
Filled with broken dreams
Filled with broken bottles
Shattered
Likes it's people

Moist eyes
From the break up
Bloody hands
From the break in
Jailer of the heart

Clown faces with acrylic smiles
Wait while dusty speakers bleat

Arms wave from downrolled windows
At sunburned minues

But no one in the car in front of mine
Ever knows what the hell they want to eat

I fired and arrow into the sky
It fell just short of earth
Took out an eye

I tossed a message bottle into a raging sea
A wave whipped it back
And smoked my knee

I flung a boomerang
It arced like a brick

When it doesn't fly back
It's called a stick

Sitting in the dark
Watching bad T.V.
Star light star bright
God I need him tonight
