Poem: «Femina. Feminae»

FEMINA. FEMINAE

Is there a longing to impress, to brave the storm and be among the best?

Is there a rhythm to a beating heart that does not rest?

I am the symbol of the light, the struggle, I am the expressed.

C.2022, Francis Bravo Cabrera, 23-02-2022, Valencia, Spain

On the 23rd day of February, 2022, I presented publicly a form that I had been working on and developing for quite some time. I named it the Euro-Ku in homage and recognition of the Haiku. I have always been a fan of Haikus, especially those written by Zen Masters. However, I knew that as a Westerner I was not placed in this world to live and write as does a poet from the East. But my admiration for the philosophy, the art and the poetry of the East led me to attempt to emulate, of course within the structure of my own, European culture, the Haiku.

What do you think?
