the light from the window
bisects her body as she sits,
leaving her face
stranded in shadows-
separating head and heart
detachment

Lovely. The spareness of the poem makes the visual aspect stand out more.

Thank you. I’m typically a wordy person. I love playing with haiku, tanka, and a couple new to me forms, monostich and gogyohka, to try to pare down what I see to just the clean lines of what I see. 🙂

This was beautiful. Loved the stark simplicity.

so simple, so complex. I wonder where her eyes gaze ?
Feb 16, 2013 @ 21:50:47
somewhere or nowhere…its up to you to decide. 🙂

that’s part of the allure for poetry, the reader interprets, but only the poet knows their own heart.

Or maybe that’s what she is pondering… 🙂
Feb 17, 2013 @ 20:11:32
One would imagine she is very complex….

Mims, you describe so well the eternal struggle of lovers and leaders… 😉

🙂 Eric, thanks for that thought – I hadn’t thought of it in a broader context, but I have to agree with you.
