Without any reason

[arunansu]

**
electric arcs
dissect looming clouds--
a rain dies suddenly

**
loony beggar
scrutinizes
my uneasiness

**

melancholy elbows
press against table top--
one dragonfly wanders

**

teardrop
rolls down a frail cheek--
mélange of sunset hues

**

end of bridge
lost in fog--
she looks at me

**
row of Moai
watch moon rise
through centuries

I thought of this like it was a stream of consciousness poem--but hardly think its without any reason. If you really keep reading you sense a 'meloncholy' about the poem. You could even switch the verses around or lines. It made me want to play with it so I hope you don't mind.

electric arcs

a rain dies suddenly
end of bridge

my uneasiness

Or take the last line from each verse:

one dragonfly wanders
a rain dies suddenly
mélange of sunset hues
my uneasiness

she looks at me
through centuries

So, imo everything works and has a real reason behind it. I think this was a good excercise in 'letting go' of the typical "I must write this poem in a chronological and sensical order.'

Thanks Bella for your thoughts and suggestions. I actually tried out a string of Ku poetry. Thank you.

Each line says so much, in the space of only 3-4 words. A very nice poem!

I'll drink to this.

It doesn't need reason Aru, when the words are as beautiful as this.

My kind of moodiness....
