NaisaiKuing: all the way


for basketting the ball
pull on your sports gear
get going ballistics
FOR BASKETTING THE BALL
get going ballistics
pull on your sports gear
for basketting the ball

loosened elastics
pull down your pants
make you fall flat on ground
LOOSENED ELASTICS
make you fall flat on ground
pull down your pants
loosened elastics


*****

basket appears far away
the sky feels nearer
you see stars on ground
BASKET APPEARS FAR AWAY
you see stars on ground
the sky feels nearer
basket appears far away

writing a naisaiKu
is it not mental sports
living out the brute force
WRITING A NAISAIKU

You are so clever! I love the way the four poems interact in a series...
I am always impressed with how you take on new challenges and forms of poetry that require a great deal of discipline.. is that your mathematical training? (Plus inspiration, of course!)
