Would Issa

Every syllable here seems perfectly balanced

I always feel most balanced through Japanese short form poetry, so I’m especially grateful for your comment.

Interesting to learn your take on poetry I had never considered. The spare oblique of the well considered suits you.

I thank you, Joe... many facets, my friend. I’ve been a practicing haijin since 2008, which forever broadened my observations of everything.

Namaste🙏🏻

Well done Jade. The season is ill. Great line.


hugs,
buddhakitty.

I appreciate that, dear Kitty.  The whole set is just as I felt the way the weather, hence the season where I live has been.
 
Thanks so much for coming in for a read.  
 
tiger hugs,

The final stanza tugged my heart strings. How odd, in a personal letter I wrote a lil while ago, I added this, still on my paste clipboard. 🍃🍁🌻 And I meant it to say, wind blowing the falling leaves, but, in time, flowers raise their faces and arms again. I enjoy the spirit in describing the leaves as grateful, find a further purpose. That is such an important thing in this life, purpose. The food I put out for my stray cat, he leaves some morsels or at least specks and the ants swarm to take it. I leave them to it and, next day, the plate is scoured as clean as if I had scrubbed it. Nothing goes to waste, nature is a merciless, beautiful, efficient process.

Such a lovely way to ring in the autumn Jade. Namaste.

Aah truly a connection, Daniel, a true embrace across this our mutual home. I’m loving it.

Thank you for your thoughts, my friend...

Namaste🙏🏻

Beautiful spill

Thank you, dear brother T, I am a humble messenger, and am glad you came here to embrace.

Namaste🙏🏻

This feels like spinning plates. Gosh, content and the way it's been displayed, glorious and strangely natural for how complex it looks like it was to create. Bravo.

Dear Poppy, I’m grateful for how you have expressed the connection of the aesthetics of this set - and my thanks for the recommend.

Dear Jade, I always enjoy your Japanese short form poetry, I've learned quite a bit from reading yours.  Consider this nominated (for October) as soon as I post my  comment.

I have poetry to write and just want to post it,  new here, where is best to submit?
