It is past midnight,
Not a sound in sight,
Nor a sight within hearing,
But hark, the universe is heaving.

Dung Beetle & Dung Ball As Metaphor of Man & His Consciousness
Just as a dung ball is all the dung beetle has got and needs to sustain him through life, so is consciousness the substance or essence to sustain man through this life and beyond.

About Me
- WordWalker
- Dungun, Terengganu, Malaysia
- I take cognizance that I am a soulseed from the divine nursery sown into the wilds of existence to be subjected to a few human-defining knocks and some soul-shaking falls before being able to sprout spiritual wings. Failure is not an option, all will fly eventually. Just a question of how many lessons it takes before being able to take flight to a fully awakened state. The rest of my life story, and the arguments in my writings, follow from the premise.

thought haikus must have odd number of lines?
If that is so, I've jest created a new hybrid/subspecies of haikus with even number lines ;-).
Haiku structure
Night was almost mute
Heard the owls thinking aloud
Hoping dawn will come
Hmm, ia this your own? It has promise of more to come ;-).
Haiku. Just referred to Wikipedia's "Haiku in English." Confirmed, haiku has variants to the base three-liner, 5-7-5 syllabic form. There are many haikus - or short poems - here, as you already know ...
Yes, that was my own haiku, a spin off from your "universe heaving".
I read Cryptonomicon, Bob Shaftoe, a marine in the book, composed haikus when he was not blowing up the Japs:)
I found them intriguing .. also when I researched the materials for Cheeseburger in Sendai book, I found out about Baso, the famous Japanese poet.
...and to think I told you before that I never even was interested about poems.. by the way Johanna will recite "Roses" next week during a competition.. hope she will not be tongue tied in the crowd.
Lead Johana thru a few practice sessions where there is a crowd of people not necessarily actually crowding around her like at the playground ... warn her people may give her the looks but more in admiration than anything else ...
She told me today during the rehearsal, out of 5 girls, teacher said she's the best.. she recited it by heart.. no notes:) I am proud of her.
Me too.
Adik got 2nd place after recital today, she said she was nervous as she was the first one to be on stage.. :) Will get her prize on Monday. She is such a funny girl.
