Autumn Insect Haiku Sequence

monarchs leaving ...
in the attic window
my dog and I

alone with my thoughts ...
wing to wing
two red dragonflies

crickets chirping ...
thoughts like the touch
of a baby's hand

dust to dust ...
a grasshopper clutching
a lump of earth

3rd Prize, Haiku Sequence, 2013 Diogen Autumn (Insect-Themed) Contest

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.
