Domesticated Wild Life

April 25, 2015Yoshiko Free Verse, Poetry 26 Comments

Preserve Conserve Protect
To prevent
Annihilation

Trapped within limited space
Enclosed in the zoo
Awaiting as an exhibit

Feeling entrapped
Without
Worry of food

Freedom is lost
Exploring and enjoying
The wild life

During my visit to the zoo with my family, I observe the animals that are brink to extinction. They are like exhibitions and I can feel the feelings of entrapment. Even I do not like the feeling of being trapped. This poetry is based on my observation and own experience of being trapped. Wish you all have good days and thank you.

Favourite About Spring Season

April 6, 2015Yoshiko Poetry, Rhyme / Rhythm 15 Comments

Attraction to spring time
Is the
Atmosphere and the beauty of resurrection

Favourite about spring time
Is the
Finest and fittest season of life

Trees brings forth fruits
Animals are well fed
Flowers’ buds grow as all its petals open up

Humans live in comfort
Without fearing hot and cold
Enjoy the harvest of agriculture

Behold, the beauty of spring!

Springboard

October 9, 2013Yoshiko Free Verse, Poetry Leave a comment

A rubbery board
Waiting for hopper
To hop and bounces up
Giving hopper fun and enjoyment
But only to a certain extent

Avoiding exerting too much force
Exert more force
The more the hopper bounces
But the hopper may hit the ceiling
Or the hopper may landed with accident

Beware of the
Springboard
Use cautiously

The idea of springboard came whenever I remembered the scene in Pingu animation where he jumps on the springboard.

Serene in the Crowd

August 16, 2013Yoshiko Free Verse, Poetry 4 Comments

Serene
Dwelling in quietness
Amidst the crowd
No lonely feeling
Peaceful feeling instead
When

Riding
Planes
Automobiles
Trains

The time to enjoy
The ride
The scenery
My observation
The rest in my heart and mind
Eyes are at rest with the scenery
Relax feeling
Lost in music from Walkman in my ear
Losing myself in imagination

Such feelings are generated when I read Terry’s inspiration at her blog. Enjoy.

The Sun

June 15, 2013Yoshiko Haibun, Poetry 26 Comments

A well loved bright sky with children play together on the greenery scent of grasses. Grass breeze through the ankles as every feet stomp onto the grasses. Their voices are thrilled with the windy day and the birds on the branches of the trees chirp gladly. Such a nice day for them as they rest on the grasses enjoying

A perfect bright shiny sphere
Shining brightly in the vast blue sky
Cover the dark with light
