[stylist] Haiku song lyrics

[KajunCutie926 at aol.com]

I love the 'interlocking' haiku for lack of a  better word for it... I've 
done this with haiku before myself...  I love  this!  As far as what it's 
about.... my interpretation may be different  from your reality but when 
reading it I felt it was about the need to  fly... to shed the tethers of cold 
(life, sadness, whatever) and finding the  strength to spread the wings and 
seek the absolution we think we need... I  probably am not close but poetry is 
like that... we put ourselves into the words  and make it our story... In 
any case.. this is wonderful  stuff!

Hi  Friends,

I probably should have waited till November to pull this one  out, but since
we've been discussing Haiku and who knows where any of us  will be in
November, I thought I'd share it now. There are three verses of  2 Haiku
each. Each verse is followed by a bridge which is one Haiku and a 5  
syllable
refrain. You'll notice that I have employed a rhyme structure that  ties the
verse Haiku to each other and the bridges to each other, though  the
individual Haiku don't rhyme internally.



I don't  consider it perfect or done, so if you have any thoughts,  please
share.

Under These Gray Skies

By  Donna W. Hill



1

Under these gray skies

I bow down  to November

Holding out my wings



Even though I  try

I can't seem to remember

Why the caged bird  sings



O, Lord, forgive me

I was once your  beloved

Don't you still know me?



Under these gray  skies.



2

Under these gray skies

I've been waiting  forever

For the seas to part



Promises and  lies

Thwarting every endeavor

Of this weary  heart



Stung by the salt spray,

I pour over my  failures

Who could pardon me?



Under these gray  skies.



3

Under these gray skies

Nighttime closes  around me

As the winds subside



Feeble  alibis

Serving just to confound me

and my starless  guide



Morning will find me

Reaching to the  horizon

Where the wild birds fly



Under these gray  skies
