A Life in Four Seasons: A Haiku Sequence

alone...
sunlight in the scent
of cherry

summer breeze
the shadow of an eagle
circles me

the attic...
framed in the window
the autumn sun

Christmas Eve
three grains of rice still left
in my bowl

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.
