#poem, “Sea of Seas (an Euro-Ku)

(Photo by and property of Francisco Bravo Cabrera/All Rights Reserved)

The weightlessness of feeling cautious love as one is floating like a cloud,

can be like warm chilled breezes that caress the gentle sea,

the moistened lips, embraces, circle round like grains of sand that cry beneath one’s feet.

A Euro-Ku is my homage to the Japanese haiku (poem), but made from a Western perspective. There are no syllabic restrictions, just three parts, which must communicate directly the message, and an original illustration by the author. The euro-ku must flow logically and not drift off into outer space. As a non-Japanese person it would be impossible for me to imitate a formal haiku as I’ve not the history or the experience of one born in Japan.
