8th July 2023
Yeah! We continue four-line this week too!
I have a new request and a suggestion to make.
Can you share a four-line ku that you've enjoyed & tell your readers why you liked it and how you understood it. For your own poems: Only TWO four-line ku per week, per prompt, per poet.
First post: You'll search and find a four-line haiku, you like.
You'll give your reason/s why you like it. Second post: This will be your first four-line ku.
Third post:
This will be your second 4-line ku.
Please give your feedback on others' commentary and poems too. _()_
Sample poem:
it looks as if
iris flowers had bloomed
on my feet -
sandals laced in blue
Matsuo Basho Tr: Nobuyuki Yuasa The Narrow Road to the Deep North and Other Travel Sketches

a sacrificial goat
bleeds
the Kali temple
at the rivulet
