Haikus For Rilke

Haikus From A Young Poet

Any lifetime spent,

Following Rilke’s Solitude:

water down a drain.

A singular voice,

The pipes of isolation,

Battalion of one.

Three forms found in one,

Personal discovery,

Water, ice, and me.

The outside sources,

Hammer like a driving rain,

Self-worth, a shelter.

-James Moffitt
