Hiya Caster,

I didnt know we had a School of Poetry, i've been gone awhile. Well Wordslinger read my newest, and mentioned this thread so I have decided to post it here to see how my first attempt at a Haiku panned out haha.

Gulf of Fire

Once Beautiful Gulf
Engulfed By Waves Of Fire
My Lord, What Have We Done

A first attempt at Renga...

Tsunami Wake Reprise



Mega thrust earthquake / Early morning violent shake / Victims not awake

Oceanic sea floor break / Seismographic second take

Massive tidal wake / Uncertainty, real or fake? / Prewarning mistake

Indonesian fear outbreak / Sri Lankan shores lie in wake

CNN newsbreak / Quarter million lives at stake / Viewer breath intake?

Misery, widespread heartache / Outcome bleak, future opaque

Please God don't forsake / Those caught in Tsunami's wake / Help for Heaven's sake

Ease suffering and heartbreak / No more lives destruction take.

All asked to partake / In a Worldwide mourning wake / For disaster's sake.

Retrospective take / In aftermath's five-year wake / Faith it did not take.

Caged a Haiku ©2010, Olan L. Smith

A bird caged, its wings
Clipped back can no longer soar
Among high breezes.

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
