Poetry: Japanese Haiku
Some Examples of Haiku
Go outside and freeze over
Jump over the moon
The leaves fall gently
Roughly hitting the soft ground
No sound, but your sound
Fish float in water
Where do you float, to not live?
Stop floating now, love
Hail frozen solid
A heart beating only love
Melting now to love
Hot is the summer
A breeze amongst the tall trees
You, me. See it all
Life springs to all life
Stop living on life, to live
Hello I'm here, too
Seasons of real love
Hunting us all down, too cold
Warm up love, to love
Old dog on the log
The tree has fallen over
Tree died, dog reborn
Love sat down to eat.
The man's mind left, now fed up.
Enlightened away.
A large empty tree.
A bird occupies a branch.
Emptiness remains.
