JAPAN HAIKU
HAIKU originated in Japan among nature lovers and spiritual wanderers. It is based on pure economy of form and extreme generosity of spirit. In Japan, poets spend years contemplating a death poem of a few lines. With a stroke of a pen and a liberated spirit, good HAIKU reaches high and deep, connects experience and conscious mind. It is the sound of a solitary flute in a vast symphony of life. --MARTI
