+*+*+*+*+ As sun slips slowly below distant horizon, the meadowlark sings its song. Scent of fresh-mown grass, carried in evening air, brings mem'ries of summers past. A stillness falls as darkness creeps across the land. Day is coming to a close. +*+*+*+*+ [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (09-15-2003 02:41 AM).] |

Hi-Q! I only recently discovered this Japanese poetic form (5-7-7) and I really like it. I find it easier to write than a senryu because of the additional 2 onji (syllables) in the third line.  EA |
