PECKHAM RYEKU

A Ryeku (pl Ryeku) is a brief verse with a life and rhythm of its own. Unlike a Haiku, its metre and length is not fixed: it is merely true to itself -- if we think it works, it works. It must, however, begin with the line: Peckham Rye, I wonder why... and it will generally express curiosity or wonderment.

Ryeku #1–2
Peckham Rye, I wonder why
There is no space between the earth and sky

Peckham Rye, I wonder why
We are made to kiss, we are made to cry

Ryeku #3 (anon)
Peckham Rye, I wonder why
No celebration
Your oration
Un abrazo
My abrasion
