GEN WORLDVIEW HAIKU by Marti

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

Walk tall,
speak little,

bend like bamboo.


Iya Valley, Shikoku

A plank of rough wood,

waiting to be carved
into endless forest.

Footsteps fly between earth
and sky,

only hills and valleys
stand in the way.

ZEN MASTER


Calm clear eyes
bend boughs,
catch rain,

a hundred moons in a hundred
drops of water.

Black river
plus
silver moon

equals
crystal water.
