MALAYSIAN HAIKU/SENRYU: ECHOES 231: SHADOWY SENTIMENTS
love under moon light
shadows shape the sentiments
the night never end
Note:
This is a different response to Mr. Kan’s. Echoes 230 was after reading world news; 231 was after lunch with my love. The fun of poetry or haiku was its varied interpretation and responses
MALAYSIAN HAIKU/SENRYU ECHOES 230: STRANGE STUN
Mr. Kan responded to haiku 229 in a haiku thus:
Sunset to sunrise
Shadow play in the moon glow
While the world slumbers
This is my response in a Haiku:
world stun into sleep
power of love fails to stop
war cries day and night

Note:
Couple of days ago, my wife requested a haiku to mark her birthday. The picture in my window hand phone (with our pictures, taken in South Korea) prompted me to compose the above.

Note:
While my lady was on her shopping round, my mind was buzzing around. In the end she bought nothing, but I had my run of haiku/senryu.
