Leaning in closer to hear his last words







.
been reading a lot of haiku recently, super inspired to practice the form.
this is one that i think truly resonates with the purpose of a Haiku or Senryū
yall should check out some American Haiku artists, notably Kerouac
(the difference between a haiku and a senryū is that the subject of a haiku involves the essence of nature while a senryū has more to do with the human aspect, both attempt to create a widow through which the reader may have a direct sensory experience with reality. Haiku is minimalistic in order not to distract the reader into intellectualizing the poem)
