…just another summer day
simmering humidity, hot, thin air,
clouds hang in the breezeless sky,
low, gray, hoarding raindrops

Kimo poems are an Israeli version of haikqApparently, there was a need for more syllables in Hebrew. That said, most of the rules are still familiar:
• 3 lines.
• No rhymes.
• 10 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second, and 6 in the third.
Also, the kimo is focused on a single frozen image (kind of like a snapshot). So it’s uncommon to have any movement happening in kimo poems.

i shall never grow weary of the greens
the blues and the golden hues
of summer in full bloom
nor tire of listening to songbirds
frogs, crickets and cicadas,
the rain pitapatting

the air smells of fish and algae, a lake
is hovering in the clouds…
come, let’s swim in the rain

nature’s way
breezes whisper, streams dance ‘midst smooth pebbles
buds unfurl into blossoms
there is no urgency
~kat
When deadlines and workaday madness overwhelm me…this. ❤️

the coming storm
an eerie shroud of silence chokes the air,
cool and wet this steamy night,
low clouds strobe gray on blue
