Haiku

Haiku is a poetry form from Japan, it comes from meanings 'to cut' or 'cutting', to Juxtapose ideas!
I like it's simple elegant style of putting simplest ideas forward, for it becomes poetry!

1. The best-known Japanese haiku is Basho's "old pond":
old pond,
a frog leaps in,
water rings

2. Another from the master, "the cold shower":
the first cold shower,
even the monkey seems to want,
a little coat of straw

My take on Haiku for the modern times, sometimes the violent political circumstances.

3. The ISIS knife:
the monster's sharp Knife,
on the Victim's orange suit
drips it red blood!

4. City:
The glorious City
streets at right angles
wants me to get lost!

5. Eyes:
Those pretty Eyes
like the sharpest Fish
beckons my kiss
