shamanism - <br />bribing the gods <br />to talk to us <br /> <br />seek a place of <br />worship if you wish <br />to see sincere expressions <br />on people's faces - <br />in front of gods, lies fly <br /> <br />maple garden; the leaves <br />twirl, to and fro, <br />like our first waltz, <br />their red that of your hair <br />i step into their dance, alone <br /> <br />autumn calmness - <br />this emptiness after <br />the unrequited love <br />the bare branch with <br />the lovely leaves all gone<br /><br />john tiong chunghoo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/haiku-and-tanka/
