I am planning to write up a new feature called Poetic Gems on a regular basis. Most of the poems which I find the most moving and beautiful, are written by the enormously talented poets who blog, so I have decided to feature and share them. Any objections to your poems being featured, please contact the author of this blog in the comment section and your poem will be removed a toute vitesse !
Haibun
(not strictly ballroom:)
no one knows
these lovelies
they are not sitting
on library shelves
gathering dust with the others
quietly resting unopened
most of which
are a testament to the consistent
tortuous learning circle
of academic life
decades of
student scrawls
underlining
pertinent passages
in order to jump
the required hoops and hurdles
to conformity
the mecca of ultimate 'success'
the great leveller
conformity - no stand outs
amongst the grey herd
Heeding Haiku with Chevrefeuille ...MLMM
