575

Works in progress for a Haiku series dedicated to Shofuso Japanese House and Garden.


surrounding ourselves
in all the lovelier shades
a home in colors


slipping brightly through
a murkily rippling veil
the gold one stands out


bitter on my tongue
warming breath, it first was sweet
frothed as a lakeshore


from grains of gravel
the tatami mat is smooth
without my shoes on


pearl. scale. a contest.
muddled splashes faintly heard
above rush hour

These, among others, are to be included in a proposed free to the public poetry reading event in which artists of different media: poets, musicians, video, will be reinterpreting the Haiku form through their personal mediums and challenging its structure in new and exciting ways. This event is a combination of history, art, culture, and reinvention!
