On the Road (Cherita Sequence)

a sudden scream

fading into the day
the loneliness

of a straight road
under the watchful sun
I keep walking

long day's journey

arriving at the fork
I choose the road less traveled

the road disappearing
into the mist
I keep walking

My book is now available through www.lulu.com [Liu's] haiku resonates the Asian spirit, and makes use of aesthetics in a continuum of time that is permanent and impermanent; the process more important than the subjective specificity of object bias found in most Anglo-Western haiku like poems. His poetry demand to be interpreted by the informed reader. They do not tell all, are not based on an “aha” moment, and have no definitive ending. More importantly they give meaning and voice to the unsaid, the magic inherent in Japanese poetry. -- Poetry Review by Robert D. Wilson, Editor-in-chief of Simply Haiku.
