Weightless--By Brian Strand--England

Weightless

Love, new love
               floats on air,
         thermals of desire
fuel
passion's flight;
       off the wall,
       out of this world,
drifting
together without
a care;
              kissing,
missing minutes
become hours,
      one dream becomes
another.

Brian Strand has created short poetic forms including 'broken monoku' (a haiku variation) and 'footle' (a trochaic monometer with witty, topical, etc themes) and Captioned Cartoon, an Ekphrasis combining his art and poetic interests. He has published a seven kindle ebook series Poetic forms; A Strand of Verse; My Choice Strand Verse; A Strand Guide; Christianity Explained; A Strand critique; and Captioned Cartoon Ekphrasis. Brian has written nearly 200 Amazon reviews and is a Wiki poetry and art editor.

  1. Hello, Brian - I love this very creative form of haiku and the carefree flow of thought with a sort of fun flow! I have not heard of this style so it is very refreshing and very cool to me! The flow seems to continue on as read in one breathe - but it is so magical! Sheri
