Tylus 02

 

The moist air is heavy

But crickets

Chirp

Empty bird’s nest in moonlight

Summer night

Mourns

Windows gaze into the dark

A widow

Black

More time for woolgathering

With a pink

Slip

Wind tries to blow out the moon

But morning

Does 

Sparse light caressing the clouds

Dark river

Bark

The merle sings her song along

Without key

Bight

The man is walking slowly

With his dog

Old

The crystal wings of angels

Just after-

Glow

Swaying boughs of the elm trees

Passing clouds

Gone

Leaving a fragrance behind

In his wake

Moon

Can't see the talking wild geese

Above me

Night

White water jumping downwards

Over black

Rocks

Moonlight dancing on the waves

Frogs humming

Wind

Plastic bags in a sandstorm

Forgetting

None

Headlights peek into darkness

Sleep will find

You

Ferns bowing deep to the rain

Before the

Rain

You are still stumbling backwards

Look forwards

Fall

Peninsula in moonlight

While camping

Frogs

Waves are creeping up the shore

Lights flicker

Doubt

Rice paddies and bamboo groves

Butterflies 

Wind

The light wind misses a beat

Roaming in

Pines 

Swirling round like a rainman

Clouds vanish

Sun

A yellow moon edging clouds

Dark meadow

Hare

How the moon touches old bones

Not moving

Trees

S.M. Kelvin created the Tilus [Tee-loo-hz], which falls under the category of micropoetry. I've tried the form myself, but would favour a hendecasyllabic form with 7 – 3 – 1 syllables, which avoids the even syllable count. I don't want to restrict this new form on people and nature, there don't has to be a kigo, but it may be used as in haiku.  The poem should end/point at one word. I call this new form of micropoetry Tylus [Tie-loo-hz].

More Tilus

Tilus is a new form of micropoetry.

After sunshine some rain

Now summer

Weeps

Some mysteries revealed, some

Nature will

Keep

It isn’t autumn yet, but

Women wear

Coats

Leaves haven’t fallen, yet

Streeets look like

Fall

Brown rimmed leaves, yellow grass

Eager for

Rain

Kelvin S.M created tilus. He explains it in this way: "The form is divided into two parts: the first part is composed of two lines following a 6-3 syllable count; the second part, a one-syllable word to close and/or complete the subject layered in the first part."

Tilus, a new form of micropoetry

Grey sky, river, bridges

Fragrance of

Spring

Tree shedding its acorn

Rain all night

Rain

Let yourself float downstream

On the Rhine

High

Mighty river flowing

The seagull

White

Golden light upon Rhine

Clouds in blue

Sky

Even in the forest

Shadows and

Light

The leaves are perfect now

In late spring

Green

Heads together they keep

Their voices

Low

Cherry blossoms falling

Paint the ground

Pink

Recently I've seen Björn using a three line form of poem, which is called Tilus. Kelvin S.M created this form of micropoetry. He explains it in this way: "The form is divided into two parts: the first part is composed of two lines following a 6-3 syllable count; the second part, a one-syllable word to close and/or complete the subject layered in the first part." For the full text look at the link given below.

It isn't a haiku. But if you are fond of haiku like myself, you also likeother forms of brevity. The tilus is like an arrow.

After I've used it myself, where should have used haiku, I was please to see that also Kristjaan played with the new form.

I hope that more people of the haiku community will use this new form. I wish good luck to Kelvin and the tilus!
