... you must surely be the master of this particular form Jerry .. at least here @ MPS ...

I am seriously considering trying my hand at least once before I lay down my pen ..

Haibun Odyssey-2
L. B. Mek said:

\'nature will be\'
\'the vision of her\'
\'in dark hollows,
a chauvinist mind strokes\'
\'fucking with a boy’s mother
came with consequences.\'
\'His lust for her was better known
than his contempt.\'
\'select a wrong pitch
a ruthless critic of your choice\'
\'\'nature will be\'
\'the vision of her\'
(forgive my overzealous and rude
reimagining of your
poignant and heartachingly empathetic write, Jerry
I just, wanted to share with you
those insightful lines
which impacted me the most)..
thank you! for choosing to share
your poetic wisdom, dear poet

A Haibun Odyssey
L. B. Mek said:

\'a Jim Crow way of life: collapsing\'..
and buried away, it shall forever stay!
hopefully...
\'let us all endeavour, to turn History\'s
Ugly
into Poetry\'s: transcendent beauty\'...
(\'Jim Crow was more
than a series of rigid anti-black laws.
It was a way of life. Under Jim Crow\')
from: Jim Crow Museum*
(a poignant read Jerry
and such a vivid scene;
you know you\'ve executed
your depiction, well
when we all, walk away
with a bad taste, lingering - within us
all fckng Day!)

A Haibun Odyssey
Neville said:


you are a clever so and so ..

Haibuns are as rare as rocking horse poo around these parts ..

I have always enjoyed the mix of prose n haiku and the way they often interrelate ... yours is a great example sir .... :)

A Haibun Odyssey
Jerry Reynolds said:

Thanks, Dusk.
I really appreciate you taking the time to look. I wrote the poem for my baby sister, a student of Greek myth, who wanted me to write something about growing up in the 1950s in the south.

A Haibun Odyssey
dusk arising said:

Initially i read this enthralling piece not knowing what a haibun or a bleacher were. Google clarified for me. Reading again i really like the way you have put this together and it\'s story line.

Understanding dreams not an easy task. But as Sax said, a great metaphor always comes into play. 😉

Nothing like a dog to smell out your past and resurrect those memories Jerry - - - grass everywhere holds many a secret and oh what tales it could tell.

Walking the dog
Accidental Poet said:

A dog\'s nose is 20 times more sensitive than a human\'s nose. They can\'t help but smell everything around them. Great write Jerry.

No dispute there, Jerry - when it comes to the human condition, I\'m a pessimist too.

Jerry Reynolds said:

Thanks, Orchi.
Good see.
Perish the thought (even though I had it.)
It’s limited- should have chosen another category.
There it\'s edited.

I\'m \'liking\' the poem Jerry, though not the thought that there may be no love at all.
