Wonderful haiku by Chen and Amin. Both haiku are activity-biased and the creative transformation (zoka)is well crafted. Yugen is well reflected in Chen's haiku in the bottom section (shimo go)'I miss myself'.The images ( silence and snowflakes)created by Amin is elegant.
So very kind of you, P K Padhy. Thank you. It means a lot to me.
Don, thank you so much for putting me in great company ... Chen Ou Liu and Issa! I couldn't ask for more!
PK: Thanks so much for the insightful reading. Don
A wonderful trio of poets, Asni, all should be proud of each others company! Thank you again, Don.
