Trellis and Torture | Haiku

Poetry 1 Minute

Happy haikuing!

Clamber

Trellis

Clamber and thread through

Weather-worn trellis, creeping

Imperceptibly.

 

Clamber1

Torture

Through fissured whinstone,

Tortured water froths and screams.

Raucous plunge, soft spread.

  2. “Clamber and thread”… “Raucous plunge, soft spread”
    Nicely done Matthew… feels intentional, was it?
    As always, I like the juxtaposition of your two pieces, and the feeling that this is the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

    1. Cheers Nadine. I’d like to take the credit for that circular ryhme there but unfortunately it was completely unintentional! If I ever get a publishing deal this comment will obviously be deleted and I’ll be claiming full cognisance of the technique!
