Trikus Poem by Peter (Prof) Fox

Trikus



A triku is a general purpose, more convoluted and impressionist development of a haiku

Been there
Sweaty Marathon
And other Greek places
Travel fever

Carded
Knitted woolly words
Coloured, spun and woven
Carded for warmth

Depressing outlook
Contagious ignorance
Deceives its victims
Wisdom defeated

Magnified argument
Focus on detail
Tiny matter
Stretches common sense

Moving on
Anchors weighed
Heavy hearts
High tide - no waves

Second law of thermodynamics
Inertia of ignorant masses
Resists scientific momentum
Civilizing motion decays

Triku
Spring unwinding
Observe the face
Not the pendulum

Triku
The thinking stream
Drops escaping
Voice of all ages
