Richard Terrify Poems
grown plump on lush greens
in cool shade a groundhog rests
...
rain drenched street
smeared orange brightly-flashes
of welcome
...
faintest light at dawn
cool air astir with the sounds
...
mid april morning
bees attend to blooming trees
dogwood blossoms blush
...
Richard Terrify Biography
I am an avid fan of the haiku form of poetry trying to become and adequate writer of them. My background is in art/art history which hopefully, someday, will prove to be beneficial in the afore mentioned endeavor. Making the leap from visual to written expression is not without it's obstacles. These are my fledgling attempts. Those familiar with haiku are probably used to the seventeen syllable, three line,5-7-5 format of the traditional Japanese haiku. I have chosen to follow the definition of Jack Kerouac of the 'western' haiku which is a short poem in simple language without poetic trickery meant to make a little picture in an airy graceful way. Both Japanese and western haiku take their imagery from nature as a rule. The main goal, for me, is to say a lot in as few words as necessary.)

Richard, You have the amazing ability to say so much with so little. Your haikus are so elegant yet so comlex at the same time, often taking nature and making it speak about life louder with 3 lines than most poets can do with dozens and dozens. You have a talent which I cannot understand and I hope that you continue to nurture it.
