Bright accuser
shining through skylight —
nowhere to hide.
Dry leaves rustle
under Hunter Moon
owl’s silent wings
The first image I took last night. The second image is, “Owl Hunt,” by Sophieeves90
Taotalk is a forum for the discussion of both the academic and pragmatic aspects of dao and Daoism, with participants expressing themselves on Daoist writings and pragmatics from their unique perspectives. It serves as a community for Daoists, and those interested in Daoism, to gather and talk dao.
Lovely poem Li.

Short form Japanese poetry. 3 lines usually, but line length can vary from 3/5/3 syllables to 5/7/5 and probably other combinations. There are rules about the composition of the lines. Deceptively simple looking. I think they are supposed to describe one moment in time. There is a start 🙂

Wow. I had no idea.
Having been around firefighters & law enforcement my entire life plus being the ex-wife of a Marine Corps Master Sergeant, there’s not a lot of poetry flying around. The closest I came was my dad & his younger brother always saying “Good food, good meat, good god, let’s eat!” at Thanksgiving & Christmas. Then, there was “Past the teeth, over the tongue, look out stomach, here it comes.” That is the length of my culture. Heh. Rude & crude…😆

LMAO! I got a kick out of your comment. If you like these poems, there is a *lot* of poetry floating around WP. Put haiku in the search box and you’ll find a bunch.
