simplicity is key.

Haiku (俳句 haikai verse?) listen , plural haiku, is a form of Japanese poetry, consisting of 17 Japanese on (a phonetic unit identical to the mora), in three metrical phrases of 5, 7, and 5 onrespectively[1], and typically containing a kigo, or seasonal reference. In Japanese, haiku are traditionally printed in a single vertical line, while haiku in English usually appear in three lines, to equate to the Japanese haiku's three metrical phrases[2]. Previously called hokku, it was given its current name by the Japanese writer Masaoka Shiki at the end of 19th century.
"the photosynthesis of a skyskraper-rose"

stems slip the surface
a nectar to be beauty
blossoms like children. 

 

a single pedal
dawn of new aesthetic noon
sips in the sunset.

beauty multiplies
one thoulsand arms reach the sky
-roots twist through shadows

blackness fills the ground
beauty blocks the sun with greed
-industry is born.

"jesus christ shot down the towers"

the nails sipped his palms,
poster child of folded hands
gift of martyrdom
-hang your crooked thief,
feet float from the only child;
our gemini death
brings a world to its two knees;
another to feet.


"trying to catch a circle's tale"

yesterdays regrets,
never forget tomorrows
-will become todays.
