Hysteria~Haiku

by Poet on the Piano   May 15, 2009


Jubilant skies morph,
Into foreboding blackness,
Consuming all light.

Uneasy birds flee,
Once so care free and daring,
Now stiff with caution.

Gone are animals,
Crouching safe miles away,
Everything inert.

Violent winds race on,
Sweeping over land fiercely,
With no second thought.

This is just the start,
Of a storm that could mean death,
Beware of its rage.

    Pretty good job here. It seems instead of a light, a storm is coming. To me, very metaphorical.

    Writing a good nature poem can be difficult, and writing a good haiku can be even harder, but I think you did a pretty good job. The description was there, and really brought the haiku to life. I think that one or two more verses added to really bring out the monster of the storm would have been nice, but you really did do a great job.

    You seriously impressed me sweetheart!
    What a beautiful Haiku chain, I so love it...
