haiku moment 2

בצלת ḥăḇaṣṣeleṯ,

1I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.

2As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
Song of Solomon KJV

A haiku is not just a pretty picture in three lines of 5-7-5 syllables each. In fact, most haiku in English are not writtten in 5-7-5 syllables at all -- many are not even written in three lines. What distinguishes a haiku is concision, perception and awareness -- not a set number of syllables. A haiku is a short poem recording the essence of a moment keenly perceived in which Nature is linked to human nature.

I waited for my lover till I could hear in the night the oars of the last boat crossing the river of heaven

good bye love
good bye lover good bye
lucky to been here

I have heard that the last thing I touch will be what I will be reincarnated as. I expect to come back as a keyboard

women are born wiser
we have to catch up if we can
and I was never fast enough

WHO HAST NOT MADE ME A WOMAN

"It was taught: He who has no wife dwells without good, without help, without joy, without blessing, and without atonement."

the fact that men have ... further to go in order to perfect themselves in the world. ...women, on the other hand, in order to accomplish their specific mission, are born more spiritually evolved.
