It showcases Japanese aesthetics (a lesson we have taken up), something which teaches us a lot of useful life lessons. The fact that they find such beauty in things that we usually find ordinary, is inspiring enough. I remember when we were talking about haikus during one of our meetings last week. The discussion led to a lot of wonderful insights and views on Japanese poetry and life. Just like what it said in the Little Prince, "what is essential is invisible to the eye."<BR/><BR/>AHAHAHAHAHA. ANG HABA HABA HABA.

What's another great thing about it is that the fourth line is hidden and its purpose was for us to mainly REFLECT about certain things in our lives. I like the way it expresses beauty and knowledge thru the simplest things in nature. :) HAIKU'S ARE THE BEEEST. @-) bwaha. <BR/>xxx-<BR/>COCO MACEREN II-1Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11690159597376371215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423244577148340663.post-65013225610009697232008-06-26T05:09:00.000-07:002008-06-26T05:09:00.000-07:00For me, Haiku is the most interesting form of afro...For me, Haiku is the most interesting form of afro-asian poetry because although it looks short and simple at first, inspite of its simplicity it has a deep meaning behind it. <BR/><BR/>-michelle guerrero II-3 :)michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14763514337023326884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423244577148340663.post-10699272592052701032008-06-26T04:33:00.000-07:002008-06-26T04:33:00.000-07:00Like the others, I found the pantun the most inter...Like the others, I found the pantun the most interesting because the first two and the last two lines talk about different topics yet still manage to have something similar.
