Shibari Haiku Renga


1

bindings creak
my weight settles-
spring rain

2

ropes braid
my limbs-
spider's web

3

immobile-
a watchful
fawn

4

suspended
shadow on the wall-
a sapling's quiver

5

mental
timelessness-
herons take flight

6

crescent moon-
the rope master's
work of art

Author's Comments

i came up with this idea of blending the poetic style of haiku with the artistic and fetish style of Japanese rope bondage = shibari.

the six haiku are linked as a renga, each piece related to one another.

i hope you as the reader will enjoy the uniqueness of first hand experience in rope fetish, with my growing 'voice' in the beautiful nature that i use to compare one art form to the other.

:bulletred:06/05/09: added a preview piece showing one of my working poetry journals open to this renga

:bulletgreen:05/29/09: updated for the peacefulness of it :frail:

I particularly enjoy how the verbs/adjectives connect and how they amplify the sense of not only being physically bound but the suspense of anticipation: creak, suspended, watchful, immobile, quiver e.t.c.
