Exceptional Indian Summer haibun 2017 JAPANESE POETRY : haibun (king of nothing) by Gypsy Blue Rose

The weather is getting warm in Sacramento.  This morning on my way to the store, I saw a king walking towards me.  His shimmering cadet blue cape waved haphazardly in the wind giving him an ethereal quality. As he moved closer I noticed it was not a king’s cape, it was a thermal blanket.  I realized he was a homeless man on his way to nowhere.  As he walked by me, we exchanged glances and bowed slightly. eyes ablaze reflect Indian Summer- king of nothing   Recognized Author Notes I like to dedicate this poem to my love. He knows why. Haibun is a Japanese poetry form that combines haiku with prose. The prose gives the reader some background information on the haiku. click here for more information artwork by Malik Girley illustrator ,graffiti artist,student San Francisco, CA, USA
