Four Seasons of Love: A Haiku Sequence

watching the lake
swallow a spring sun—
her crimson lips

campfire…
the summer stars in her eyes
warm me up

maple leaves
falling all around us—
we stop holding hands

cold moon…
the twin size bed creaks
under our bodies

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.
