Variation on an earlier haiku. Sort of cheating, I know. 😊

dabbe It's not cheating! Monet painted 25 haystacks, all variations depending on the type of light in the day. You're doing Monet with words! 💛🐝🖤 11h

Haiku: This Other World | Richard Nathaniel Wright, Yodhinobu Hakatuni

pick

Near the end of his life, Richard Wright, best known for his 1940s novel of Black repression, Native Son, (not read), began writing haiku.

To say that these are some of the best English Language haiku I have ever read is not hyperbole. It‘s evident in every line that Wright was enamored by the deceptively complex form and respected it.

Wright, a Black Man in 1950s America, found in Nature a place of belonging. Such is the power of haiku.
