"Lucid"

Poem Commentary

This is my first attempt at Haiku, and it's probably way off the mark. Any help on the form itself would be especially appreciated. Good day!

"Lucid"





In a daydream once,
I met the blue summer sun
Of a daydream hence.


In the meantime since,
I wait eon by eon
By a springtime fence.

love it. on rereading the title, it sucks you in. the soft rhyme make it roll long like the eye over pasture hills in this would be recurring "day"dream. I particularly like how you break our attention and long roll feeling with "eon by eon," punctuating us to feel the sense of trying to count thru what is an eternity in this timelessness. 10

Thanks, MN. Haiku in all its modified and dishonored glory, lol! But I'm working on it. It might be a new passion, and especially Scifaiku - Science Fiction Haiku! Spirit bless!!

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
