Biography: Jacquii Cooke is a 32 year old Black Poet from Oak Ridge, Tennessee. As Webmistress of Poetry in Color Forum, she is devoted to the more abstract styles, especially those with a strong feminine voice that center around the topic of redemption and righting the wrongs of past transgressions.

Call For Submissions #6 - Haiku Collection
Click the image to open in full size.

Call For Submissions for our sister-site Poetry-Defined.com. The form HAIKU is a Japanese form that all should be familiar with. It's a rather simplistic form, short in length, but generally packs a sophistocatedly poignant punch. This call is a little different than the others, as the haiku form consists of only 3 lines - This Call For Submissions will require the Poet to submit a mini-collection of related haiku between 12 and 24 lines in length! A sample haiku collection can be seen in my post Passion Murmurs.

**NOTE** Each haiku in your haiku collection should relate (aka same topic, theme, etc...) as if one poem.

The call for Haiku Collection closes July 30, 2007. Please refer to the NEW Poetic Type Published Rules & Guidelines for more info on the rules and guidelines for submitting poetry.

Below is the webpage your Haiku poem will be associated with if and when chosen for inclusion. Please refer to the description and definitive example below for more information about the form HAIKU.

I'm looking forward to your Haiku Collections - So Happy posting!

Jacquii.

heres my three haikus I made this morning

Tide
the tide rolls ahead,
like a magic tongue feeling,
leaving life swallowed.

Winters Sister

snow rolls in, up, below,
a soft falling, a dark call,
winter's sister you are named.

Giving Rise

A caw not a coo,
gliding down with vision set,
giving rise to prey.

Here are my haiku's

Spring

The snow has melted
The street is full of children
Who now dream of spring.

Autumn

Walk in golden sun
Come now autumn leaves fallen
The summer has gone

Scream

I voice silent scream
A collection of my fears
Ever flows through me

Glass Harp

Hands aged like fine wine
Strum goblets with moist fingers
Celestial ice chimes.

Spider Waltz

Geometric pearls
Woven acrobatic silk
Such graceful deceit.

Sahara Sunset

Sienna glazed rays
African moon painted breath
Plays anthem on clouds.

Dreamin'

Picking star flowers
from a celesial garden
lit by the Moon's smile

They have been previously seen, but I love these Haikus

City
The cacophony-
crashing, screeching, screaming
echoes in the alley.

Native
Quiet despairing
flows into the empty sky
One single wail.

Fall
Blossom releases
tumbles, careens down the cliff
Into the abyss.

She Sees What Others Cannot
She Sees What Others Cannot

She rises ready
with sunshine meeting her gaze
breathing in her life

pans the horizon
taking in the elements
keeps each a secret

misty meadows peek
to see eyes that are gleaning
the Day's mystery

absorbed in the glint
her promises and wishes
unveil nature’s needs

overflowing streams
speak softly where she has been
gathering bouquets

carried into dusk
songs that fill the Milky Way’s
curiosity

So, i decided to actually make a Haiku Collection :]
It has a double meaning....I hope you find it :]


Echoes of Life

Emerging slowly,
masquerading in the light
that shines though the leaves.

Blossom releases
tumbles, careens down the cliff
Into the abyss.

Swift, raging river
carves its way though the Canyon
Starts with one small stream.

Wind howls though the night
causing trees to swiftly bend
If only still unseen.

Dying sunlight of
explosions of rich colors
In the twilight sky.
