history of a man

The haiku is a kind of short poem, without rhyme, usually organized in 3 lines. This poetic form has it’s origin in Japan hundreds of years ago, although the term “haiko” was not used until the XIX century.

This short poems use to capture a moment, situation or event, usually trivial, which inspires the autor, providing it with a special transcendence or spirituality. Already in the XVII century japanese poets said “haikai is just what it’s happening in this place, at this moment”.

This is a poem i like very much, I hope you like it…

I envy not in any moods
The captive void of noble rage,
The linnet born within the cage,
That never knew the summer woods;

I hold it true, whate’er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
‘T is better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

Lord Alfred Tennyson
