Depth of Height

Tristan Robert Lange

striving to get high
the inner peaks of my heart
descend to great depths

    A wonderful Haiku for the New Year. Very nicely constructed

    • Tristan Robert Lange

      Thank you Soren. Glad it resonated! πŸ™β€οΈ

    • Teddy.15

      Senryu it's all about the emotion and you have it all. Beautifully done dear Tristan. 🌹

      • Tristan Robert Lange

        Thank you, dear Teddy! Ever since I saw you post a Senryu, I fell in love with that form. This is my first of what I am sure will be many! Thank you for the inspiration my dear friend! πŸ™β€οΈ

        • Teddy.15

          Do some research that's what I did when I first discovered them, you already have the gift my friend. 🌹 πŸ’™

          • Tristan Robert Lange

            Aww! Thank you. Indeed. That is how I found the Sestina, Villanelle, and other forms. For the Senryu, you were my research before I researched! 🀣 Thanks again, dear friend!

                Nice Tristan; loving the contrasts of heights and depths, pulling as it would in different directions and yet still β€˜under.’ πŸ‘πŸ»

                • Tristan Robert Lange

                  Thank you my friend! Indeed! Glad you love the contrast between heights and depths. You time and your analysis are very much appreciated! πŸ™β€οΈ

                  • arqios

                    Just a thought here, all the activity we’ve had over poetry these past month has somewhat muted the effects of S.A.D. , just noticed. πŸ™πŸ»

                    • Tristan Robert Lange

                      Indeed. I concur! The poetry has been quite therapeutic. \"Somewhat\" is the right word as it is still very much present and I struggle with it...but the poetry (both reading and writing) has been really good and somewhat muted its effects. πŸ™β€οΈ Astute observation, my friend! Thank you for your keen eye and caring heart. πŸ€—

                      • arqios

                        No worries. If that monster is quiet and still, in its lair underneath; then for myself all is well. Glad that it isn’t a lonesome journey as well, got each other’s backs and all. πŸ‘πŸ»

                        • Tristan Robert Lange

                          Indeed, my friend! And I really appreciate that you know it, get it, and care enough to check. Seriously, I am more moved that I can truly express. I truly value you, my friend. Glad we've got each other's backs! πŸ™β€οΈ

                            Good write T. I descended to the depths of my brain for some deep thinking - nothing there, as I had already passed my 3 brain cells at surface level. lol.

                            • Tristan Robert Lange

                              πŸ˜‚ I hate when that happens! Glad you resurfaced safely to give me the update! 🀣 Daftness aside, my friend, thank you for reading and for your feedback...and for the laughter! Much appreciated! πŸ™β€οΈ

                              • orchidee

                                But it becomes corny and boring, if someone laughs at their own jokes too much. But then again - maybe no one else will laugh at their jokes but themselves. lol.

                                      There is much depth here and a long way to climb. Much contrast, but the point is to keep trying. Beautiful Tristen.

                                              in searching for more when do you lose yourself?

                                              • Tristan Robert Lange

                                                Ooh...Great question! See, there you go again, NinjaGirl...all shadow-like, throwing your precisely profound questions like ninja stars! LOL! Okay, I'll stop with that now! 🀣 Seriously, though, I've missed you in the short time you've been away! And this is a great question. One that I do not have the answer too. So far, I have not found the searching to do that; however, is there a point where one goes to far in searching? My guess, as with anything else, is yes. At what point does ones search stop being soul-searching and simply a searching for more that cannot be satiated. I don't know...but the question is begged. This is the stuff that philosophy is built on my friend! Love it! Thank you for this question...seriously. Will be up late pondering this!...getting "lost" in it even! πŸ€£πŸ™β€οΈ
