New Year's Day Comments

Very nice poem. I liked it.

You are right, Susan. The poem in the original language probably had a different number of syllables. I really do wonder what the original said. The translation of that third line seems somewhat strange to me.

There are [a] different kinds of haiku- they're not all 5-7-5, and [b] translation into English mangles many good haiku! so just go with the flow and wonder what the original said

that ever present contrast of outside - inside, penned by haiku master

That is the beginning for a grand finale at the end!

I feel the same... I wish this coming year bring more joys and happiness in everyone's life.
