Haiku 5

We arrive naked, depart naked
Who fills in the nothingness in the middle?
Life is a dream without dreamers.

haiku 6:

 haiku 6: 

the wild geese stitching the sky

in gliding motion of infinite 8--

tails bites the beginning

looping you back home

our encounter--
trees shrouded in mountain clouds
nurtured by each other's vapor

KuHai: 1 (a free verse 3 lines poem)

 KuHai: 1 (a free verse 3 lines poem)

(11.27.2020.wenwenlin)


sound of wind chimes
passing through the long corridor---
did you hear the flowers giggle?

(note: KuHai is a word my poetic friends Judy and Andre made up: 
simply a free verse 3 lines poem. vs. Haiku 5-7-5 strict rhythm)

Book of Life

Book of Life
11.20.2020 wenwenlin

when lovers
passing each others
on the street after some long years
while with another in their arms--
there is no greater silence

between the folds of the old waves
and the new, in the ocean of the pages...

each professes in the art
of entering and departing,
chapters that are chronologically misplaced
and paragraphs that have been written, erased
and re-written and re-erased,
pages flipped, skipped, stuck together
with content still unknown
sentences half read
words with syllables mis-pronounced--

and the book of life
has already been rushed
to be published.

 Haiku 2

looking back at the face

that speaks through the silent mirror

still not ready for repentance.
