Haiku - Calmness Of Heavens Poem by john tiong chunghoo

Haiku - Calmness Of Heavens

Rating: 3.5


silvery sky
the calmness
of heavens


GENERAL CATEGORY:
-----

london blasts
the subways quiet
for the first time

blackout
family members try to speak
louder than the storm

lost on
the horizon
the ship

THEMED HAIKU - GOING ON HOLIDAY
--------

thai travel
he keeps saying 'thank you'
in thai

travel shock
finding he gets better exchange rate
than home

KIGO CATEGORY: 'HEAT'
------

first tokyo summer
unagi debuts on
my tongue


NEO CLASSICAL HAIKU:
------

autumn love letter
as the leaf falls, he bares
his whole self to her

(autumn)

SHINTAI HAIKU:
-----

the ballet dancer
twirls and swirls
turns my world around

upturned world
old lotuses bow
to new blooms

(old lotuses here mean withered lotuses)

VANGUARD HAIKU:
-----

beach kissing
our libido comes
in waves

folding crane
he wishes peace
a straighter matter

In the desert to us...if the sky is silvery..shows a sign of rain...is a great blessing...and if its full of white cloud...its more blessing as the sky is beautified like flowers of different shape on the sky
