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.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
