Bare Maple Tree and I Tanka

English Original:

finally
you are stripped naked
bare hands
stretch to the sky…
the maple tree and I

Chinese Translation:

最後
你的衣衫盡除
裸露的手
伸向天際…
楓樹和我

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.
