Time to resurrect the Poetry Thread

...for the posting of random zen-related, or buddhist-related, or non-attachment-related poetry, to which we will not become attached... or buddhistified,... or zenny. Just... words. Maybe words that twist in your head a bit. Or words that twist the world. Just... whatever.
















I'll start.

But why?


Namaste,
tobi.

Also check out the original, interactive poetry by sangha members in the "Haiku Chain" thread! Gassho.

Here's one of my favorites from way back- I wrote the whole thing in response to another post, but this excerpt stands alone.

...and all the vignettes and soft on the edges
and in my head now the being-ness
the pure color of it all,
painted on a dark board in oranges and whites,
the music of the numerous lives squeezed in..
