POEM

What is better than a simple haiku with deep meanings?

人を夢とや

思い知るらむ

住み捨て市

その輪誇張の

宿りにて

That man's life is but a dream -

is what we now come to know.

Its abandoned house,

Where the garden is now home

to butterflies.

Hito wo yume to ya

omoishiruramu;

sumi suteshi,

sono wa kochou no

yadori nite

BY SOUGI

I fell in love with the simplistic perspective of the haiku-- it's amazing to see how long a poem would last and still be read today.
