Poetry in the Moment: Wavy Hairgrass Tanka

a dream
of wavy hairgrass
I'm running
after my beagle
long deceased

German Translation

ein Traum
vom Draht-Schmielengras
ich laufe
meinem Beagle hinterher
der schon lange tot ist

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.
