 Online journal capturing the moment and the memory of moments. A meadow meditation. |
   L'aura del campo 'é a lua, é a lua, na quintana dos mortos' ♣ Federico García Lorca ♣  L'aura del campo. A breeze in the meadow. So it began the last day of Spring, 2005; on the 16th day of the month of Light of the year 162. This is a supplement to my daily journal written to a friend, my muse; notes I do not share. Here I will share what the breeze has whispered to me. PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS!

| Antique tenor Once limpid — pools seep, covered with cataracts. His falsetto soars; sometimes truth can only be sung. © Kåre Enga [177.228] (18.september.2020) 24 syllables: 3/2/6//5/8 free verse Last line from "The Tenor at the Opera"  For "Invalid Item" Note to self: it feels a bit oriental like a senryū or tanka. |
Obviously, I'm thinking about Oriental Poetry and Tinker  and concrete_angel, WakeUpAndLive~NOV Word Monger  and all the others! "I think I've written too much maybe... and then I write more. Six months of going nowhere... even my Muse wants to travel." Above comment I left for SusanFarmer  in her blog "Journeys" She's responding to the 30dbc prompts with senryu.So my response above was 29 syllables ... easier to expand to 31 then clip to 17. [scribbles on paper] scribbles on paper snail-etched — now black swans racing across a blank screen six months of going nowhere — even my Muse craves travel © Kåre Enga [177.227] (16.september.2020) So I write a tanka (English syllables 5/7/5 7/7). Concrete images in the first part; a response in the second. "Screen" is a modern word. "Sky" would be too cliche imho. If an image of a computer screen were used then "sky" would be better. See: haiga, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiga Further notes gleaned from the internet: http://abritishprofinjapan.blogspot.com/2017/06/rain-snails-Japanese-animal-name... Snail is "katatsumuri (カタツムリ), is usually written in katakana but does have kanji (蝸牛)." https://wkdkigodatabase03.blogspot.com/2007/03/snail-katatsumuri.html Perhaps an image of rainy season? (summer = May, June, July) Black swan = hakuchoo (any season) Seasonal words (kigo): http://www.2hweb.net/haikai/renku/500ESWd.html Also: https://youngleaves.org/?page_id=98 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_kigo https://worldkigodatabase.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2013-12-29T03:50:00%2B... |
