Birth marks beginnings, <br />Death, yet another innings; <br />Why’s game of life without end? <br />_________________________________________ <br />Haiku, a genre of poem of Japanese <br />origin, has only 17, or 19, or 21 syllables <br />in all. Haiku means ‘the beginning’. <br />Haiku poets say, ‘we only begin, we <br />never end.’ What the poet begins, the <br />reader may try to complete by setting <br />his imagination to sail. Life too, like a <br />Haiku poem, has only a beginning. For, <br />who has seen the end? <br />_________________________________________ <br /> -Haikus | 04.03.06 |<br /><br />Aniruddha Pathak<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-is-but-a-beginning/
