crescent moon how the other half have always lived
—Michael Henry Lee
Issue 14.1 | 5 May 2014
Beautiful and widely resonant.
Very thoughtful. Enjoyed this…
Dear Michael,
Good allusion to the famous haikai verse, and subtle use of crescent moon which could be read as centuries old issues between the West and Islam:
autumn deep the neighbor, what is it he does?
Basho translated verse©William J. Higginson Paterson Pieces: Poems, 1969-1979
aki fukaki autumn deep
tonari wa neighbor
nani o what
suru hito zo to do person?
Basho and transliteration of his haikai verse
Excellent haiku!
warm regards,
Alan
