The following four pieces are written in the XuxaKu form of verse created by Joseph Randell Sherman.
The form consists of three unrhymed lines following a syllable count of 7-6-5 and can be written on any theme.



Summer Night

We made love by the lilacs
In a summers night filled
With purple fragrance.

White Feather

A white feather pirouettes
With falling leaves, dancing
On an autumn breeze.

© ewrichardson 2007

December Moon

Under a December moon
The world turns slowly white
And the dreamers dream.

© ewrichardson 2007

Spring Heat

The meadow is full of flames,
Wildflowers in full bloom
As spring heats the blood.

© ewrichardson 2007

Oh, this is absolutely gorgeous! A "XuxaKu" chain, beautifully done... and a glorious depiction of the four seasons, which makes it hard to pick a favourite... but I have to say that the White Feather of autumn is specially meaningful to me. Reading your work is always a privilege.
Love,

Dear Erny,

These XuxaKu are a glorious presentation of the four seasons. Thank You, so much, for honouring my new form with such exquisite work!

Love & Light always and in all ways,

Four seasons are needed for the complete year, and all four are illuminating and wonderful. You're my favorite 'form' writer, and that from one who knows nothing about forms. Superb imagery, here, Good Friend.

"......feather's pirouettes..." caught my fancy, in my mind it was dancing like the one at the begining of Forest Gump film, not quite falling all the way.
All the lines prodded my hand to start writing.

E.W.,

Each stands out on its own merit with beautiful imagery, but the first and fourth are my absolute favorites: talk about stimulating ALL the senses!! Well done.
