I feel like the Japanese have a great sense of place and nature and that relationship with humans. So I have formulated some of my feelings about Green Poetry in the forms of haikus. Then I wrote my own Green Haiku.
Do you understand
Green Poetry, like a tree
Or is it empty?
Is nature crazy?
Or we deceive as we please
Interpretations
Do we all connect?
A web of lies in disguise
Interdependence?
Trees and bumble bees
Silenced by the forest's din
Paths gone here and there
Wonderful haikus! I like the way the questioning haikus lead, at least to my mind, to a kind of response in your final formulated haiku (however sad its suggestion might be--which, incidentally, seems to presage the link Tom posted about the proposed highway through the Serengeti).
ReplyDeleteThanx for sharing!
I really liked the line "A web of lies in disguise/ Interdependence?"
ReplyDeleteWhat is the "lies" you are referring to? Lies to Nature or lies to ourselves?
