ok…not a fan of haikus apparently. they’re harder than I thought. wrote a whole bunch wrong and had to start again. then my favorite involved a pond. I saw SeaCat’s and thought damnit…let’s not both write ponds. ultimately I realized I’d rather write a thousand sonnets than a single haiku. but I definitely learned somethin.

Hoi Chère C.,
If I may quote you:
in my slumberous state I cause chaosDon’t we all?
I embrace the thought in real life.
There’s nothing more tedious or boring than perfection.So:
in my slumberous state I cause chaos
Is the cherry on the cake.
Just my opinion.À lovely write!
Kind regards, Gus -
Fantastic spill, my friend! May Arawn hear your darksome call and be your lantern into Annwfn. Not just yet though, we need more of your beautiful melancholy. Excellent poem as always.

There is NO SIN in being a woman, none. If there is SIN, it is brought about by the burdens placed on women in a male dominated, patriarchal system and society. It’s a strange evolutionary process that a biological difference (having babies) became the source of oppression.
While I applaud the artistic value of this poem, its sadness, its flow, and metaphor, I am also torn in that there should be no sacrifice made. Instead, there should be a head held high acceptance of the chaos, of celebrating joining the chaos made by all of us as human beings, and we are a chaotic bunch.
Crimsin, I hope I have not trampled all over your poem’s garden, it’s just that women are not evil or gods, just human. And certainly not for sacrifice.

Your rhyming skills are becoming masterful, Damian. I love the effortless flow in this. That change of season can be exemplified by many on youtube who are tired of life’s games. Great work here.

We are so long overdue for one. I’m hunting light and warmth everywhere I can find it these days. I think we all are. I’ll gather dead fall if you get some matches. We can dance around the bonfire of hope, my friend

हमें हमेशा वो नहीं मिल सकता जो हम चाहते हैं 🌿
बादशाह शाहजहाँ ज़रूर रानी मुमताज़ महल से बहुत प्यार करते होंगे, क्योंकि उन्होंने उनकी याद में एक शानदार तोहफ़ा बनवाया था, शानदार ताजमहल, जो उनकी हमेशा रहने वाली आराम की जगह है।
और, मुझे आपका परफेक्ट टाइटल, “मुमताज़,” बहुत पसंद आया, जिसके बाद इतने खूबसूरती से लिखे गए शब्द हैं जो देने और लेने से सीखी गई बड़ी सच्चाइयों पर ज़ोर देते हैं।
अपने प्यारे शब्द शेयर करने के लिए आपका बहुत-बहुत धन्यवाद ⁓ रिचर्ड🖌

English translation:
We can’t always get what we want 🌿
Emperor Shah Jahan must have loved Queen Mumtaz Mahal very much, because he built a magnificent gift in her memory, the magnificent Taj Mahal, which is her eternal resting place.
And, I love your perfect title, “Mumtaz,” followed by such beautifully written words that emphasize the great truths learned from giving and receiving.
Thank you so much for sharing your lovely words ⁓ Richard🖌

LOL!
Two ponds would be just fine, but I’m quite chuffed with this one, myself!
Now, that’s a splendid Haiku, 253.
Ditch “the” and replace it with something meaningful, like “gold moon” or some such and it’ll sparkle on the page
