micropoetry ~ zappai, kimo, lune

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
