Quiet night, peaceful boy
Left the rat race, came to this place for maximum joy
No city lights disturb the night
With pen in hand no real plan of what to write
He’s just a beginner, a sensitive heart
He cannot sing or dance
But, his senses awaken and there is a spark
It’s the first draft
He’s a ku contemplator
ku contemplator
ku contemplator
Haiku contemplator
Bashō, Issa, Shiki, and Buson
write of frogs and fleas
Buck Teeth, Mido, Kuro, and Shiro
Master Cup of Tea
Write and erase then add a space
Let aha moments come to you
No need to chase
In silence they come
In dreams they unfold
Kireji, karumi, and kigo
Melt in your heart, burn in your soul
If you are a ku contemplator
ku contemplator
ku contemplator
Haiku contemplator
Haibun, tanka, renga, and haiga
Senryu too
If Michael Dylan Welch hears a 5-7-5
He’ll spew
Because he is a ku contemplator
ku contemplator
ku contemplator
Haiku contemplator
