Poetry – Page 175 – Anna Yin's Poetry Alive

and the book: A Haiku Journey, Basho’s Narrow Road to a Far Province

In introduction, the little poem stands out

A seashell
Is a Japanese poem
Of seventeen syllables —
Small and formal in shape
But containing an ocean
Of thoughts.

Good news from my son

I were away because my son played the Canadian Table Tennis Junior Championships. And now it is over and he won a gold medal for CA11 Boys Team, a Silver medal for CA11 Boys Doubles, A Bronze for CA11 Boys Singles. I am very glad.

Yesterday at my Poetry Alive event, he and his friends helped me a lot to read poems and guess the answers for riddles.

Thank my son and his friends for always helping and enjoying my Poetry Alive events. photos credit to David Liu

waiting upon the son —
a chess clock ticks
pawns/poems line up

Read the whole poem
