secondhand haiku: far beyond frail



far beyond frail haiku

Today’s secondhand haiku comes from David Cecil, who is no stranger to poetic writing. David is one half of Kansas City-based music duo Far Beyond Frail, which blends his songwriting with the mellifluous vocal stylings of Sharlynn Verner. I await their next foray into the Philadelphia area so I can check them out firsthand, but I’m pleased to have David’s input into this project in the meantime.

You can find out more about David and Sharlynn’s efforts, and even check out some music, by visiting them not only at their website, but also on MySpace, Facebook and Twitter.

If I did feel you
(and I know that I felt you)
then it was all real

    I like it, and the music on their website is pretty good, too.
  • Yeah, not bad at all. Did you solicit a lot of songwriters and musician types to write haikus?
  • PJ - Yeah, the music's kind of catchy.

    Al - I actually sent a few invites out to musicians I've come into contact with. We'll see how many others send something back, but I'm certainly grateful for this one.

    I wish I could remember the philosopher's name who would thoroughly enjoy the haiku. In the meantime, it is a favorite.
