Dream Tanka

English Original:

standing still
at the opposite ends
of a hallway
in my dreams...
youthful mother and aging me

Chinese Translation:

在夢裡
靜靜站在
長廊
的兩端…
年輕的媽和衰老的我

Haiku Pix Review, #1

Ripples from a Splash

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.
