Poems ✍️

Below is an example of a Sestet Seryu
The metering however, is employed via
the 5-7-5 syllabic requirement of Tra-
ditional Zen style Haiku.Hope you enjoy.



The Hangman in Black
Amorphously Eyes The Thief
Sweating Profusely-

Through The Hood He Wears
His Knees Begin To Weaken
Toe Tapping The Wood-

Of The Plank Below
Hear The Murmur of The Crowd
Come To See The Show.

Hangman Breaks Silence
"God Hath Mercy on Your Soul"
A Hush From The Crowd,

The Plank's Chain is Pulled
To The Sound of Loud Thunder
Cracking Thick Oak Bark.

The Thief Now A Soul
Is Buried In Yonder Field
The Show is Over.
