Kojiki 5/7/5 5/7/5 7/7/7 for Japanese Poetry Club

A chapter in the book One Thousand Cranes

Hail on the Rooftop

by Gypsy Blue Rose


If You Would Like To Join the Japanese Poetry Club, please check my author notes
 

hail on the rooftop
roars beating plastic and straw
of homeless man'
s hut

clink, clank, clunk, plink, plunk
drum to the beat of his heart
rap, rattle, stutter

prays the roof holds other night
tap tip-top hail laughs haha,
man hopes the sun comes out fast


 




I used Onomatopoeia as a poetic device. Onomatopoeia is the formation of a word by imitation of a sound.

The concept of hail sound and destitute man is a type of zen writing which is part of Japanese poetry history

KOJIKI is the oldest poetic form that dates back to 712. It's a compilation of poetic history and mythology passed on by mouth from generation to generation in the 8th century before written Japanese existed. Modern Kojiki can use any theme. The Kojiki is divided into three parts: upper 5/7/5 - middle 5/7/5 - lower 7/7/7 syllables count. it uses a kigo (seasonal reference) ; click here to see list of seasons ; wikipedia
