On My Life in Wenzao

Haiku means "beginning verse" in Japanese, constst mainly of imagery.
A Haiku should be concise, direct, and imagistic.

還記得櫻桃小丸子中，爺爺三不五時總喜歡吟上個幾首徘句嗎?
徘句的最原始其實是一種遊戲，參與者要將其擴張為一首長為三句的詩。
而具有詩意(poetic)俳句必須：直接、了當、及富含意象。

I go

I go,
you stay；
two autumns.
--Taniguchi Buson(1716-1783)
--Translated by Robert Hass

當你停留時，
我正要離去。
如連年的秋，永不相逢。
--Translated by Flora Chang

Haiku*1

I was purple without red,
but you bring it.
Make a pure purple.
--Flora Chang

Haiku*2

two swallows,
piles of lice
are the certificate
demonstrate our conscientious.
--Flora Chang
