Here are a few poems I've written.

Just a warning, this one has a BDSM theme.


A sappy one.


This one is called Sitting Alone.

D'aaaw. I really enjoy your poetry it's very easy to empathize with it.

Thank you so much. -^^-

I liked the first one most, it has the feeling of a song to it. I think it'd very easily adapt to music, it isn't easy to get that sort of rhythm into words, so well done.

It is interesting the difference between American Prose poetry and the Japanese Waka or the Haiku. So much depth to both but the Waka and Haiku uses so little words. However, in the Man'youshuu, there are some "long poems" that move your heart towards もの　の　あわれ：

Since in Karu lived my wife,
I wished to be with her to my heart's content;
But I could not visit her constantly
Because of so many watching eyes--
Men would know of our troth,
Had I sought her too often.
So our love remained secret like a rock-pent pool;
I cherished her in my heart,
Looking to after-time when we should be together,
And lived secure in my trust
As one riding a great ship.
Suddenly there came a messenger
Who told me she was dead--
Was gone like a yellow leaf of autumn
Dead as the day dies with the setting sun,
Lost as the bright moon is lost behind the cloud
Alas, she is no more, whose soul
Was bent to mine like the bending seaweed.

When the word was brought to me
I knew not what to do nor what to say;
But restless at the mere news,
And hoping to heal my grief
Even a thousandth part,
I journeyed to Karu and searched the market place
Where my wife was wont to go!

There I stood and listened
But no voice of her I heard,
Though the birds sang in the Unebi Mountains;
None passed by who even looked like my wife.
I could only call her name and wave my sleeve.

　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　However, the Haiku has reigned supreme in Japan.... here is my attempt Xo

Eyes burn unto screen
Ghostly Screen burns into mind
Young heart seared with death

pretty obvious the pace and message of this haiku...... can you guess the meaning? now for more depth.......

A young fox's footprints
Follow a cold nose sniffing
Still figure sleeping

can you determine the meaning? and last for a waka


bright moon never lies
to the longing of the wolf
beauty never touched
Golden eyes fill with yearning
Moonlight awakes from dreaming

if anyone can give the meaning of this poem I will name my first born child off of you.... really I am interested to see if anyone can tell me the meaning of this poem

anyways... there was my attempt to Japanese poetry
