I am a nomad.
I've no home to call my own.
my home is the world.
The Haiku Flow is where I express my thoughts and feeling using the Japanese form Haiku. In its most basic form, the haiku consists of three stanzas where the first and three stanzas usually contain five syllables with the second stanza containing seven syllables. Traditionally, the haiku has a seasonal theme - even if the haikus I write rarely follow this theme and can be said to be unconventional in this respect.

Dry Rivers
How can you stop time?
As rivers turn to deserts...
You know all will end.

On September 11
On Nine Eleven.
I hear the dead still crying.
"Stop this violence!"
I hear the dead still crying.
"Stop this violence!"

Escape from Ego: A Quintette
1
Abandoned by friends,
Shamed into peaceful solitude.
Seeking my refuge.
2
I lost all my pride.
Shameful was my arrogance.
I find emptiness.
3
These verses I write.
Aren't they the of cry of Ego?
Seeking permanence.
4
Afraid of itself.
Finding its true nothingness.
It ceases to lie.
5
I am sad but free,
Free from pretensions.
I am what I am!
Abandoned by friends,
Shamed into peaceful solitude.
Seeking my refuge.

I lost all my pride.
Shameful was my arrogance.
I find emptiness.
