a tidal wave speaking
my mother tongue
Wednesday Haiku, May 30, 2012
Commentary by aditya: Chen-ou Liu's haiku moved me on a personal level, English not being my own mother language. But of course.. the diasporic element (Pacific shore/a tidal wave..) present in his haiku makes it even more engaging.
And this is a sweet sweet picture with yr mother.
Also the work reminds me of another gem by Issa:
home village --
mother's cloth-pounding
faintly heard
