Haiku Reflections

Soul enlightenment :
Way becomes both purpose and
sole entitlement.

Life's rhyme repeating,
seldom satisfactory,
moves Time free fleeting

Nothing is foreign
with sentience passenger
equal neath Yug's reign

Where do souls find home ?
If home is where the heart is,  -
most, unhappy, roam.

Solitude etude :
though all roads may lead to Rome
rarely beatitude ...

Gene encryption
splices gene-I-us unseen
to fact or fiction ?

Sperm into ova
creates new life in a flash -
lightning, soon over

The name's revolution,
contribution, reflection -
the game's evolution ...

    Soulful!

    Ah dear Jonathan, I forgot why I was attracted to your poetry! Bravo!

    'Where do souls find home ?
    If home is where the heart is, -
    most, unhappy, roam.'

    I just watched a TV special about Nadya Salerno Sonnenberg (born in Rome) who said "I takes guts to be happy"

    I loved all you wrote here! Jane

    I really like the sense of Zen and the rhyme/slant rhyme you have written into this haiku-chain, Jonathan. Reading this aloud, the words have such a soft nature and tone, and the meter almost feels as though a prayer-chant. Very nicely written and I truly appreciate the entry and the read.

    Since you're not interested in any HM Trophy award in this contest, I've made note of this. I normally do allot HM's to all entrys other than the top three-placement as a sense of gratitude for having written an entry for my particular contest. Let me know if you change your mind otherwise, OK?
