Zappai ~ on drunkenness – 5/7/5 syllable pattern with no reference to seasons
foolish desires
racing into tomorrows
drunk on life and us
***
Kimo ~ on jealousy – 10/7/6 syllable pattern. The kimo focuses on a single frozen image
Carmine rivers of blooded words gushing,
crashing through my sanity
~when you see her, not me
***
Lune ~ On birth – 5/3/5 syllable count, known as the American Haiku
my baby's bald head
I breathe in
soothing my new soul
***

I love all these poems! Your Kimo is like a knife to the heart – so very raw and direct – so perfect. Thanks for joining the scavenger hunt! I had read the Renga you and David wrote but never found your blog! I’m going to follow. I can’t wait to see what other delights these prompts produce!!
