Ghost Bike Haiku

ghost bike
locked to the lamppost...
a beagle at dusk

Croatian Translation

bicikl kraj puta
lzakljucan za stup lampe...
bigl u sumrak

Note: A ghost bike is a bicycle set up as a roadside memorial in a place where a cyclist was killed.

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.
