L'aura del campo


'é a lua, é a lua, na quintana dos mortos'
♣ Federico García Lorca ♣


Higgins Street Bridge, April 25th  2009, Missoula, Montana


L'aura del campo. A breeze in the meadow. So it began the last day of Spring, 2005; on the 16th day of the month of Light of the year 162. This is a supplement to my daily journal written to a friend, my muse; notes I do not share. Here I will share what the breeze has whispered to me.

No answer

your dusty robe hangs
outside the closet — inside
bones await the key

© Kåre Enga [182.33a] (17 syllables)

Task Prompt: Write a haiku that breaks the rules of traditional Western haiku—but still feels like a haiku. Note: 17 syllables is haiku-ish (not a haiku) in my opinion and haikus don't really have a title.

More like a haiku (still needs work imho):

bones inside
a closet — dusty
bolted door

[182.33b] (11 syllables, 1, 2, or 3 lines)

Another breaking of rules:

Waiting for a call

Without friends I sat inside my closet, hid for what seemed an eternity.
I waited over twenty-six years, for what seemed almost an eternity,
then we met in South Carolina, our friendship destined for eternity.
I rejoiced for twenty-four short years, knowing we would last an eternity.
I haven't heard your voice for two decades, must I wait until eternity?
My wrinkled robe hangs outside the closet, inside bones await eternity.

[182.33c] (6 lines of 19 syllable lines, like a ghazal or a vahid)

Baaad dust bunnies

We wrap ourselves around a firestorm,
shroud ourselves inside a waterspout.
We seek to settle our dispute
with fire, wind, and water.

Prize Prompt: The most nefarious thing dust bunnies are likely to plot.
