(in case anyone argues this is not meant to be the traditional 5-7-5)

Green bamboo shoots
Pierce the dry, broken earth,
A vermillion blaze.

[Katen Kyoukotsu]

He ran down his path
Never once turning aside
He tripped and fell

The End

Salmon swim up stream,
their final journey creates
new life with their death.

[Toasty]

The feather turns upon itself, wishing for peaceful slumber.
It drifts down, through endless skies, broken by rain, turned by thunder.
Reaching earth, it wishes again for sky; it's trampled underfoot.

[silverwolf801]

The wind that of a fragile child
Restless only to it's fail
Brings joy to the people


I tried.

[Kazmiz]

Yesterday evening:
It flew as I chased it down -
A flap of crimson
