Occasional Poetry - 43. Morning After

em>Some reflections are best in the morning. This one is mercifully short.
Poetry is a
conversation held between
brain, heart and spirit;
intellect will serve
effervescent wine; wit, words;
the heart likes deep red
barrel-aged longing;
but beware the clear moonshine
distilled by the soul.
 
em>Comments on this or any poem are always welcome.

Oh, fascinating. A trinitas of spirit(s). Very beautiful in the context of both Christian theology and the Ancient Egyptian faith that lead to it.

 

Wonderful!

Thanks for seeing so deeply into this set of haiku pearls. I cannot attempt theology, but I tried to explain what happens when a subject or phrase comes to mind. Better than tryingm to make it into a three dimensional mathematics problem...I really appreciate your comments! :)

Terrific comparisons, each one of them... I loved how you left the most potent for the soul, incorporating a warning. Also the 'red' and 'longing' for the heart... beautiful! Of course, sparkling effervescence suits the intellect... I like this one... very much... cheers... Gary....

I am glad you liked this one Gary. So often, writing a poem feels like three parts of oneself sitting down and conversing (just shooting the breeze) about subject. But the soul often speaks in the deepest, most memorable registry doesn't it? Thank you so much for your generous words...cheers in return...

Haiku proved that someone can create greater things with little words. And with these Haiku you proved how true it is. Such a wonderful Haiku. I loved them. And the descriptions of heart-mind -soul, was just amazing. :thumbup:

Thank you, Emi. A friend of mine called it a "Tri-ku" for stringing three of them together. But it did seem like a perfect form for expressing these thoughts. You are quite right, that three little lines can turn out ideas that are quite powerful.
