spring runoff carrying a tune
swimming hole—
the first

But we have our own thing going here, which is fun in its own way

They may be all that, and they may not. :woohoo:
A deep connection to the Way goes beyond form or idea, so I wouldn't worry too much about appearances or presentation- but instead, if it shakes me with a laugh from the Great Center
The Force is with you, always.

okay, i got it, it's cool
so, jedi haiku are not traditional haiku - I can live with that. )
in Japanese haiku got much closer to the Way because of the hieroglyphics. it was both visual and word poetry, in a way. sometimes, with beautiful illustrations.
I seek the modern way to do the thing, a form for concentrated strikes of the Force through art.

reach out with open senses
peace will come to you
peace. you extinguish the blade.
silence of solitude sings
on the battlefield of your soul.

My haiku are in Russian, just like Den's, but I can translate some of them.
I hope you enjoy.

Sense of human life…
Are you recognizing it
In a teardrop?

Stream is fast and clear,
Throw a dirty stone in it –
And that stone will shine.

Silence. No wind.
In the mirror of the lake
I see the heavens.

All the holy books
Are just ashes on the ground,
Left from fallen stars.
* * *
Ashes of the past
Are still here to remind
Us of who we are.

Dream is fading for a time,
Until Night comes back...
* * *
Dreams in the moonlight,
Other dreams under the sun...
The eyes are still closed.
* * *
Visions of the mind
Draw illusions in the dark.
Light is in the eye!

For me to write about,
For you to fathom .”
Not really a haiku, but it was inspired by a chuckle I had reflecting on the Dalai Lama's writing career..
The Force is with you, always.
