Sunku: beyond rhyme and rhythm, search for new structures in short form

cobwebs
quieted steps
and muffled voices

portraits
hang sideways
death came alone

spring cries
it is wrong
to harvest early

Thank you, Jess.
I thought about these sort of images that just make you feel present and involved in the story, that tilted painting was haunting me for many years as a symbol of a grief in the house.
Sometimes I think I made up the form for it and for my ginger hare. They do not need more words.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! 3rd one to repeat

how we all wish
we had deadly company

we won't have to make it alone
couples on earth keep company
why in heaven be bereft
can someone throw kindly light
galaxies are too far
for a sunku to
brief me
do you read me

The one that walks the halls
never to disturb a cobweb
or make a footfall..
Seeing without eyes,
A presence felt,
grief of loneliness,
A thought
There in the shadow
they walk with us,
always..
Lovely picture, Yours Ian..x
