Bathing

by Dyfed Lloyd Evans
Water splash
Her scalding-hot caress
Gentle wavelets
Cleansing skin

Storm

by Dyfed Lloyd Evans
Storm clouds,
Distant rumblings
Ascending mountain-riders
Promising disaster.

Glass

by Dyfed Lloyd Evans
Glass — solid–liquid
Contradiction, transparent
Transmuting vision.

Leaf-litter

by Dyfed Lloyd Evans
Dropped leaves — shifting winds
Echoes of passions
From yesteryear
Discarded

Poetry

by Dyfed Lloyd Evans
Words,
Fresh-minted here
Expressing ancientness
Of Dreams

Leaving — Returning

by Dyfed Lloyd Evans
Pain —
Our separation
Igniting passions
in reunion






The poems presented here are part 2 of a collection I wrote (see part 1 of the collection) that is a fusion of Japanese Haiku and Cymric englynion. The point is to create four-stanza poems with limited syllables that have internal structure, an internal counterpoint and which can also stir the senses and the emotions in the conjunction of their brevity and complexity.
