Haiku Poetry
illicit tipping
by the old empress' tomb -
wood frogs croak
(Mayumi Kawaharada)
"I think that the World Poetry Movement and others should be persuaded to see haiku, haibun and related forms as being of relevance today, especially in terms of re-imaganing our relationship to the environment and, indeed, our weighty responsibilities in this regard!
Nobody knows
where the owner is:
this bicycle thrown
in a bamboo grove
(Mieko Katsumi)
Such a simple verse! And yet any child - any adult - could immediately relate to it.
What a powerful postcard or poster poem one could make with these few words."
- Gabriel Rosenstock
