Frank James Ryan Jr...fjr Poems

A Senryu with the Syllabic
requirement of Traditional
Haiku...(5...7...5)
...

The pen marks the paper
that marks the quantum
of literary amplitude
that one's been given,
...

Traditional Zen Haiku with a wee
sprinkling of Shakespearian lexia.
...

Ha! Yes, I knew it,
I knew I'd bring ya' to it!
Titles that facinate
will always make you take the bait.
...

Drawn from the concrete well
buckets pulled by rope-burnt palms,
the chilling bounce of a mothers screams
against the damp echo
...

{A Cryptic-Senryu composed with the
syllabic requirement of Haiku form}
...

_________OVERTURE___________

In engaging a walk, 'pon a Winter's crisp morn,
On a snow-feathered path,
...

A Modern-Contemporary Haiku
w/ syllabic requirement of
Traditional Zen style Haiku
...

A Modern Contemporary Haiku
with adherence to Traditional,
Haikus Syllabic requirement.
...

With glitches galore
As you try to tour
Your second home
That holds your poems
