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.

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.

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.

One only has to read your poem to know that there isn’t an event that cannot be written about, very entertaining indeed.
