Book excerpt: Somewhere over the Fragrance of Linden Trees Mr. Radu Şerban is one of the most representative Haijin in Europe who grasped the spirit of HAIKU. He always says that the simple transplant of HAIKU from Japanese to other languages is not desirable. Yes, we should not do so by only imitating the format of Japanese HAIKU. But we, all people of the world, are able to share the very spirit of HAIKU, in essential meaning. One of the most important spirit of HAIKU is the coexistence of people with nature, moreover the assimilation of them. And another one is the quintessence of simple poetry-haiku. Mr. Radu Şerban says, the “simplicity” gives the power to survive in this increasingly sophisticated world and the power to unite each other in this incredibly alienated society. Yes, HAIKU has the potential to resist these tendencies of the modern world. I can find Mr. Şerban’s spirit of HAIKU everywhere in this book of poem “Reflections.” I opened a page indiscriminately, then found the page fulfilled with fragrance of linden trees. For me fragrance of linden is “the sign of Erewhon.” strong fragrance's arm above the linden tree's crown knocks at my window. The simple strong words can make realistic imagination to the reader, we can say “Look! here is the HAIKU spirit.” Then, I opened another page. To my surprise, there happened to appear a linden Poem again. As if they are playing in a miniature, several bees are swarming, dancing and singing summer coming songs. swarming in round dance the bees and linden flowers– droning fragrances. To paint a miniature by a simple shining word is an unmistakable method of HAIKU. Indeed, Mr. Radu Şerban must be a humble member of Basho’s diaspora in the world!

Download or read book Three Hundred and Twenty One Haiku written by Michael J Lee and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-20 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the haiku poem is minimalistic: to crystallise the power of insights into a strict structure and short sequence of words. They capture instants of time in the life of a poet. This volume of over three hundred haiku describes these moments in time with maximum discipline, for a haiku has its own timeless code of expression which the poet must obey. In this work, Michael J. Lee observes nature, society and himself caught up in their passage through time. The bulk of the poems were written during the seasons, challenges and breakthroughs of one year. There are also many verses of pure spiritual contemplation. Three Hundred and Twenty-One Haiku is a kind of journal of a personal journey through life, sensitively recording impressions, thoughts, sensory experiences and insights, and even acts of worship, as they occurred, permeated with the freshness of each passing moment, such as during a visit to the beach, or just watching pets and creatures in the garden. He depicts a range of emotional states of mind from loneliness and fear to love and peacefulness There are also small cameos of his home town of Cape Town and of his nation, South Africa. This engaging anthology covers themes as varied as the Big Bang and the laws of nature, in addition to reflections on the Creator-God and on time and change. With a tone of intimacy never far away, there are poems to his wife, haiku about the signs of the times we live in, with its phoniness and showmanship, as well as affectionate portraits of a glorious kingdom of nature.

Download or read book Reflections written by R. C. Clermont and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-06-21 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Reflections, RC Clermont uses the 'English' 17-syllable haiku form. In an age of too much information, Reflections deploys the 5-7-5 format to achieve brevity. Traditionally, haiku focuses on themes such as nature and the seasons In this collection of fifty 17 -sound haiku verses, RC Clermont has departed from this rule. Reflections comments on themes such as family dysfunction, particularly the consequences of relations' attempts to dominate their 'blood'. Other themes explored are: love and friendship, economic malaise and inequality, as well as the crass, crude, materialism of suburban England. Reflections also takes a swipe at capitalism, the shallowness of riches, and how money does not make people more respectable. Reflections also takes a more critical view of the green lawns and fairways of Middle England, and the bigotry and hypocrisy therein, as well as the hell that is the England football supporter. The English abroad are also observed at their worst. Reflections also delivers a critique on the stark reality of global politics and so-called democracy. Reflections is part of a series, and the first collection of poems is now available in traditional book format for the first time. and is also available in Amazon Kindle. Occasionally, there may be strong language
