Vingnette-I Came With Rain…
I came toward him with rain in my feet and soil in my breath. I came toward him, anticipating the need to fertilize his area…promote the growth of life and smiles…his eyes were side…much like snakes-he slid down short smirks…he came with axe and turpentine for any life I brought.
lanterne#2
grey,
blank mists,
u gravel,
toward the scent of
lust.
lantern#3
rain
poured on…
bourbon tastes-
tears that mock me…
wow…
lantere is a five line quintain verse shaped like a Japanese lantern with a syllabic pattern of 12341. Each line is able to stand on its own, and the poem may or may not have a title which sometimes forms an integral part as a ‘sixth line.’
gogyohka #1
a street-type militant blackness,
catches my breath in tiger grips…mannn
they were black entities
that stoked flames of lust-filled thoughts,
i sit Indian-style strivin’ to deal with me.
gogyohka is simply a verse written in 5 lines, but each line generally represents one phrase and has a different feel to five line verse common in western poetry. If you make each short phrase stand alone as a separate line in this way, then you have something a little different to what is generally considered standard 5 line verse in the western sense. This was invented as an answer to the traditional tanka which is five lines with a fixed syllabic structure. This form allows for more freedom or no syllabic structure.
tetractys#1
He
wanted
finger tips
tracin’ dances
across my existence…he failed, i hid.
tetractys was devised as a 20 syllable verse of 5 lines. The syllables are 1234&10. Each line must stand on its own.
sequence#1-3
DON’T
be
the
one to
ignore
what may well be your
freedom into my essentials!
SHE
took
the
rest of
what lay dead,
what lay dormant…
for the laughter in
her body fled through bright red tears.
WE MET AFTER WORK
for
drinks
the kind
that led to
bedrooms and clothes off…
copulations in blk blue jazz.
poetry in the Fibonacci poetic form i.e. in the syllabic sequence of 112358…
