Banned

by Philip Philmar

 

Banned in great detail,

Several forms of pleasure,

On a park notice.

 
 

 

Rose On Paper

A rose on paper

Never troubled by greenfly

With pencilled petals.

With blank paper considers

Committing Haiku.

HAIKU

The Haiku poetry form originates in Japan. Most commonly it has three lines of seventeen syllables: 5 - 7 - 5. Traditionally, Haikus are observations of nature and the seasons and do not have titles.

Westerners usually miss the point and use the form for their own perverted reasons.

I'm no exception.
