WHEN I RETURNED

Continuous Haiku
Continuous Haiku is a form by its own merit,no matter if they are separated by lines,stars slashes or numbers.None of the arbitary move by poets or editors can take the nature of Haiku and Haikuesque ,away from them.
No interventions by translators in different languages,disqualify dismember or de-mean them either.
It is all on the choice and the way of looking of poets and writers ,and still a continuous Haiku.A form different than the others--
1
WHEN I RETURNED
I WROTE A NEW POEM
IN THREE LINES AND FIFTEEN DOTS:
.....
.....

2
WHEN I RETURNED
A YOUNG ROSE
BLOOMED IN THE BACKYARD

3
WHEN I RETURNED
WORDS OF YOUR POEMS
WERE PLAYING WITH ME

4
THREE LINES AND FIFTEEN DOTS
THAT IS LIKE AN ULTIMA TONE
IN ORANGE

5
When I returned,
In the afternoon
I came out to the halo
Of the sun
With wind and azalias.
I hung up a rose
At the gate
And brought the halo home.
It was a sunny afternoon
With me alone
on hammock.
6
Life is Haiku
Running and running
Leaving false bodies behind
Way behind life
7
False body and behavior
Is born dead
Death is your infinite destiny
