Reading Myself: one-line haiku
Reading Myself
one-line haiku
“English-language haiku tend to be written in three lines, corresponding to the metrical division of Japanese haiku, but Japanese haiku are actually usually printed in a single vertical column. By way of analogy with this form, poets such as Matsuo Allard and Marlene Mountain began writing English haiku in a single horizontal line—and thanks to their efforts that form has become established in English as the major alternative to the typical three-liner.”-Allan Burns
1
open the strait gate to find endless beatitude
2
i drop the mask as I converse with cross
3
silence of evening is pious time
4
the great war ends and pestilence comes
5
wandering monk grows up doing nothing
6
simply my real self will make me live
7
adore jesus with your every breath
8
in the kingdom of jesus don’t abuse me
9
red rose feels lost in madding crowd
10
virtue is nailed at the cross, and Barabbas goes free
11
better than thousand words is rain
12
five million unemployed youth fast unto death
13
sun teaches us to give, and not count the cost
14
base of the hill in deep woods greets shaman
15
my pain grows deeper watching the woods where the trees had been

Faith in the Almighty Lord creates love, peace, brotherhood, inner joy, patience, humbleness, righteousness, kindness, and self-restraint.These good qualities alone can protect our world "where ignorant armies clash by night".
