Femme Fatale: A Haiku Sequence

startled doves
fill the spring sky
her hand in mine

she takes
a huge bite from an apple
my mouth on hers

wedding notice
her photo still placed on
the glass tabletop

Easter morning
as promised, I pour myself
a glass of wine

Jan/Feb 2011 issue of Sketchbook

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.
