poetry • Senryu
Small poems, often more humorous, on the nature of Beings.
Form brought to the Pleiades in recent history by Space Kitten after her first visit to Japan.
If humes bent in wind
and stayed rooted like the trees,
they’d erode to bone.
~ Hjenlyera Xet ~
a favorite of Space Grandma’s!
The Robot stands as a tree.
Imagines rooting.
Their theorybuds bloom and fruit.
~ Vrae ElnoAdi ~
Robots in the wildflowers.
Pollens smear them red.
Wildflowers in the robots.
~ Qyropadie ~
Robot fruiting bods
expel spores and fab light shows,
raving til dawnbreak.
~ Aryova yYa ~
A hume will act on
a future that never was;
Living Dream Theatre!
~ Rover Three ~
Pain may hurt a hume,
yet they will hold on longer
than to happiness.
~ Sinumai Monsa ~
A hume may be wise
to the eyes of needful friends –
yet blind to themselves.
– Sinumai Monsa ~
Most hume hearts shake up,
even those that do not dance;
we can’t escape chance.
~ Sinumai Monsa ~
The Robots know no illness,
no body breakdown.
Hearts are a different matter.
~ Rin oRin ~
The Robots well know stillness.
Undisturbed cisterns
learn the breadths of their own depths.
~ Varsi Zur ~
Play the game to win
on behalf of everyone;
you’ve already won.
~ Melqah Mae Qeraq ~
