Kimo Days 28 & 29

Frankie, the keeper, settling in nicely!

Catching up from a busy weekend…two kimos, totally unrelated…hope you’re having a great Monday!


Kimo Day 28

a conversation overheard tickles
the ears, creating voyeurs
armed with poison secrets

Kimo Day 29

somewhere between the dawn and blackest night
we forget love fashioned us
we forget who we are

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.

Kimo Day 26

’twas an interlude from ordinary
serendipity, love’s bliss
no words, mem’ries to keep

Kimo Day 25

i think of autumn on cool days like this
scorched leaves crumble ‘neath my feet
fallen, fading too soon

Kimo Day 24

a lie is best served loud and shrill and cold
so to drown out all reason
but truth is a whisper
