Haiku were developed in Japan but recently are known and written all over the world, not in Japan. They are a style of poetic writing using a small number of words to convey a much deeper feeling or emotion. Traditionally the poems were observations of nature which would evoke a strong sence of the scene described or of the emotions underlying it. Modern haiku explore many themes and continue to be popular both in Japan and the world.

The Jisei, or death poem, has been a tradition in Japan that spans centuries. A conscious rite and custom of the moribund, the death poem often reflects their life, their circumstance of death, spirituality, materials, and views on beauty and other subjects. Among the writers are Zen monks in Japan, samurai, leaders, mistresses, and haiku poets. The background still is from the magnificent and dreamy, surreal film Kwaidan (1964, Japan).

The song only available in Japan "Poetry in Motion" that Leeland wrote for his girlfriend. Running, pushing through crowds of people Trying to find my way My way back to you You're better than all the others Wrapped in Beautiful Colors I've got to make you mine You're like Poetry in Motion You have my love and my Devotion You're like Poetry in Motion You have my love and my Devotion From the Start, you changed my life with who you are The flame of love came from a spark You lit inside my heart Nothing could ever pull apart Our hands held so tight this far You're walking my through the Dark You're like Poetry in Motion You have my love and my devotion You're like Poetry in Motion You have my love and my devotion Now that I found the love of my life I'll hold your hand and walk into the light Now that I found the love of my life I'll hold your hand and walk into the light And walk into the light You're like Poetry in Motion You have my love and my devotion You're like Poetry in Motion You're like Poetry in Motion

my mother really resisted in reading these but I was relentless (I like these poems very much) JAPANESE DEATH POEMS: Minamoto Yorimasa (1104-1180) Like a rotten log half buried in the ground my life, which has not flowered, comes to this sad end. Ota Dokan (1432-1486) Had I not known that I was dead already I would have mourned my loss of life Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1536-1598) My life came like dew disappears like dew.

This film shows the Japanese poet Ito Hiromi reading a slightly abridged version of her poem "Killing Kanoko" at Western Michigan University on October 3, 2008. The translation is by Jeffrey Angles and appears in the collection _Killing Kanoko_ (Action Books, 2009). For more info, see tiny.cc This poem, written at the time when Ito was taking care of her first daughter Kanoko, is one of Ito's most famous and frequently anthologized poems. The bold expression of a young mother's desire to commit infanticide shocked many readers and earned Ito a place in the tabloid newspapers. The words "Congratulations on your destruction" (horoboshite omedeto gozaimasu) repeat and overlap, creating recurring, almost hypnotic cadences that parody the congratulatory message a young mother hears repeatedly upon becoming pregnant or giving birth.

ANOTHER SPRING Another lozenge, steam-breath prayer for the last thaw -- then check, ok-a-lee -- another steam another air frost tongue to creator these tears like talcum are whipping from wind and rain I hold these terrors: light, and light's supervision. On TV: everyone waddles. Mud and what's not mud is smoking, still spring creeps in one petal, another, more. A leaf shakes, and another This time, it's only the wind, the surge of leafless March, of secluded trunks, sleep pressed rough and noon-glazed spring descends.
