SingPoWriMo 2016 Day #23

SingPoWriMo 2016 Day #23

Day 23 and I have written how many?

what have i got myself into?



icy


in the time between
the first flame
and the last exhale
of breath
       is
the bubbling
of death
on a heated tin foil
the quick suck of
white fumes through
a straw
before the bones break
the flesh tears
the ants
   crawl on
     clammy
         skin
     slipping
sliding
   into
     the poisoned
         blood
        as
    the blades
are drawn

      &
     before
     the dawn

     icy
       dead

the dragon is too mean to chase

shiki kukai - moving water

The theme for the January 2016 Free Format section of the monthly kukai at haikuworld was 'Moving Water'. I wanted to write about paper boats but decided on empty spaces.

The results were out and my effort scored a total of 5 votes. Not too bad, considering the amount of good haiku that was submitted. :)

shiki kukai - quiet

The theme for the July 2015 Free Format section of the monthly kukai at haikuworld was 'Quiet'. It sounds easy enough, but I took some time settling on this one after discarding a few other efforts.

I thought this effort would do well, but it managed only 4 votes. But the standard of the haiku submitted in this edition was very high, I thought. And the comment by a reader on this haiku really lifted my spirits. : " a fresh way to express silence, it reminds me a bit on Guillaume Apollinaire..." :)
