Kimo poems are an Israeli version of haiku. Apparently, 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.
meaninglessness
your apologies flow like bitter mantras
lacking all sincerity
obliterating us

strangers at the mall
I write stories about them in my head
high drama at the strip mall
escaping the mundane

down the wormhole
I think too much about nothing, rent free
space to ear worms in my head,
to voices not my own

ves-purrs
three a.m., the cat hovering over me
perched on my chest, rising and
falling with every breath
