Experimental Poetry: Pezzoli/Berglund/Chin/Josiah + Complete the Haiga

NEOWISE’s Farewell

 

falling up

learning to ride comets

the cold full moon

 

 

falling up

 

past life lessons

more understandings

bears begin hibernation 

 

learning to ride comets

 

tracing Orion

in the dark

winter sky   

 

the cold full moon

 

makeup artist

mulberries flower

in june 

 

—red velvet

sequin spotlights

   intergalactic popcorn  

 

red velvet

 

grand drape

I wait for my cue

 at the wings 

 

sequin spotlights

 

 

why axis

jacob’s

ladder 

 

intergalactic popcorn

 

dusting stars

man-in-the-moon

forgetting the plot

   after the storm—

  a rose shakes off

 its own thorns  

 

   after the storm—

 

clothes wet

from the humid

cold winter wind

 

  a rose shakes off

 

striding

into the wind

ticker tape parade

 

its own thorns    

 

~ ~ ~         

 

lichens grow        

 the universe expands

hermit crab gets a new shell
