Winding Mountain Road Tanka

in morning breeze

the winding mountain road

lined with vincas

flower by flower, I find my way

to the childhood home

Honorable Mention/短歌佳作, 7th Fujisan Tanka Contest, 2022

Japanese Translation

朝のそよ風の曲がりくねった山路に次々とヴィンカの花が咲き

私は子供の頃の家路を見出す

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.
