Description
Neon lights at the bus stop and sunsets, frozen shores and fireflies.The haiku poems in this collection are miniatures of the infinite universes of the Author's everyday life. Fitting a very modern imagery into the very strict and sharp structure of traditional haiku poetry, this book is a catalogue of instants and seasons where nature and love exist, or at least they should.One hundred haikus, 5-7-5 syllables that are brushstrokes on a little painting that becomes a persistent image of a young man's life between boredom and stars.Rainy days in the city or fat Shiba Inus, cherry blossoms and fractals, all can be as beautiful as a dream, all can bring back a painful memory, all can be in a short poem.
