Chen-ou Liu Poems

A Haiku Sequence written on the night of the Chinese Moon Festival


walking aimlessly
...

from the screen
to ten thousand stars...
power outage
...

the 5th tanka in the sequence, Politics/Poetics of Re-Homing

inner émigré
rolling off my tongue...
...

To buy or not to buy
one more box of chocolates...
Bruges in summer twilight
...

The 7th tanka in the sequence, Politics/Poetics of Re-Homing


the Dear John letter
...

A Haibun

“It is your interest in my haiku that has enabled this slim volume to continue its journey into the promised land of old souls. The NeverEnding Story of imagination carries us further...”
...

'Peace on Earth...'
brings me out of a dream
morning glories
...

running away
from myself and my shadow
the smell of formalin
...
