HaibunOde To #NationalPoetryDay A brave cloud challenges the dense entry into the ego. It gets lost in the mist of mourning occult mysteries and sinks into the realm of wondrous unicorns. serrated poem – a national pride of lions moans its elegies #haibun #haiku #senryu #vss365

A line drawing that could resemble a fingertip with some fur caught in a hangnail. 

The haiku reads:

Ode To A Middle-Aged Man #vss365 #poetry
Ode to a middle-aged man

There was nothing special about you
50-ish, overweight, ordinary nose, chin, eyes
Nothing in your voice that made my heart beat faster 
Then you started talking about your trucking company
Your eyes lit up, you sat up straighter
And the way you spoke of your guys
How well they handled the trucks 
How lovingly they treated the motors – 
Oh, your passion! 
How your hands flew as you told me 
About rims and tires, suspension, exhausts!
Over 30 years ago we had that one date
I never saw you again, forgot your name 
But i’ll never forget you. 

Oh the times i’ve talked about you! 
You’ve probably passed on by now but 
Oh how I wish your spirit well!

This #collaborative #rengay by long time FreshOut contributors Hifsa Ashraf (IG: @hifsays ) of #Pakistan and Arvinder Kaur (IG: @arvinderk8 ) of #India titled “Old Haveli,”reads in alternating verses beginning with Arvinder,


Old Haveli
 
sleeplessness
a round of riddles 
on the terrace
 
naming constellations  
after fairies 
 
filigree window 
light and shades
on her cherubic face
                                          
afternoon haze
roasting peanuts
in the sand
 
haveli pathway 
grandpa’s footsteps fade
 
broken wooden fence
covered with
the ripe grapevines

Arvinder Kaur, India
Hifsa Ashraf, Pakistan
