Senryu

on uncle frank's arms
bruises where death tapped him,
asking for the time

LOVE Ray McNiece.

I picked a book of his off the library shelf, flipped through, and took it home. I'd love to see him perform some of his work.

He still tours

pretty extensively. Really down to earth, approachable guy.

Really?

He seemed like it, for some reason. Where did you see him?

That's really just wonderful.

I have two others up on my livejournal. Maybe I should post them, too? This one's my favorite of the three, though.

Oh! I would like to see those...

Hmm... Okay.

MMmm-HM.

Wet Sand, Raven Tracks (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0974205494/qid=1132101929/sr=1-7/ref=sr_1_7/104-0134620-8490317?v=glance&s=books) is the book it's from. There's some really good pieces in it.

very pretty.

I think you mean "senryu."

Heh, I noticed that too.

Pronto chango, Gillian.

Okay, Lisa, okay... *sigh*

[identity profile] persephone-blue.livejournal.com 2005-11-15 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
...Oy. You're right, I do.

*changes as quietly as possible*

It's real ominous but sort of personal, too.

I know. It manages to be creepy, sad, witty and damn wonderful in just three lines. Wow.

Which is why I say, hurrah for haiku! Err, senryu.
