HAIKU
is a very short form of Japanese poetry typically characterized by three lines. The essence of haiku is 'cutting' - this is often represented by juxtaposition of two images or ideas and a 'cutting' word or 'cutting' phrase between them. Normally, haiku is about landscape experience in connection with a deep emotional or cognitive insight.
snow -
white on black
your delicate shadow is walking ahead
even on this grey day -
the world's winter every-day
has its pleasure quarter
from my window:
snow covered the old graves -
nothing remains
this form dissolves -
there is nothing
i can see
cold night ahead -
the lights are far away -
the moon is near to the blue horizon
the path is gliding in the night
the blue horizon passes into dark -
the moon is gone
from the last year
just a tiny shadow -
your smile in my memory
