 |
|
我先起了个头， 两位诗友紧跟了上来 --
L
a water lily pad
sways like a cradle for
the mid autumn moon
S
the mid autumn moon
is stuck in the willow tree --
disfigured moonlight.
T
disfigured moonlight
from behind her veil
la luna flirts
。

谢谢挑剔。
》Did I say it's haiku?——〉No.
》Does it have a sort of kaiku spirit?——〉We tried.
》Is it less than 17 syllables? ——〉 Yes, a trend of English haiku. Mark even suggested 4/6/4.
》How to play it? ——〉 Easy. Pick up the last line of the previous as your first line and jump on the train...
Here is one more, not that good, example only:
la luna flirts
to break a man down
all stars close their eyes

for a squirrel time
cicadas' dyeing last trunk&
straws-listen the ground
how does it look and sound?
in this way, a new breed of poetry in English , I think.
one could create (a) missing part(s) in a sentence to 'Zen' it
time (adv. clause)
noun (phase)
verb (+subject reversed or object)
subject is present and missing, up to you.
of course, I attempt to create two new words here
trunk& (rhyme relative to drunken), also give more meaning to it
straws-listen (a plural listen or hear, as if ears stand like straws) by subject(s)
just for fun

here, it's an old meaning (see ZT below) with new colloquial syntax like "tea time, jazz hours, punk rock," etc..
it will derive the meaning such as "for a time that shadows with its tail"
then what is shadow (v.) or shade (n.)? add more interpretations too:D
ZT
squirrel
1327, from Anglo-Fr. esquirel, O.Fr. escurel (Fr. écureuil), from V.L. *scuriolus, dim. of *scurius "squirrel," variant of L. sciurus, from Gk. skiouros "a squirrel," lit. "shadow-tailed," from skia "shadow" + oura "tail." Perhaps the original notion is "that which makes a shade with its tail." The verb meaning "to hoard up, store away" (as a aquirrel does nuts) is first recorded 1939; squirrely is from 1925. The O.E. word was acweorna, which survived into M.E. as aquerne.

Meaning’s superb! Sounds good, looks not so sure. The sign ‘&’ appears like 乱码，the new-coined word ‘straws-listen’ made me stumble a bit。 Me me again...
Thanks for providing the information of the origin of the word ‘squirrel’, it really helps.
I was saying you almost derailed the train.
Hey, let’s get out of this arrangement.
Anyway, your demonstration shows me another way of thinking.
I'm still working on mine.
Thank you very much!
bales of straw lying
still in the scarecrow-less field.
all’s gone, in the end.

straws listen, the ground
grinds her dreams to dust. restless,
the sleeping fields

啊，第一行是 博弈的， 最后一行是 周道模的，我就是想法把它们连起来。
觉得有味就好。谢谢！
