Beauty, as they say, is in the eyes of the beholder. However, in the emergence of a modern world, beauty keeps being redefined. It has become the subject of vanity and narcissism. Yet, such as Helen's beauty who launched the Trojan war, beauty remains to be a powerful force that can change mankind.

Haiku #8
yes I was bitter.. I now laugh at how I was.. but still I miss you..
My japanese is a bit rusty, but isn't Haiku a kind of rhythmic japanese poetry? haha :) It's amazing how the persona in your poems is so realistic, but, at the same time, so introspective. It's hard to find a perspective like this in Literature. You use the words like someone who is building a house of cards - sometimes, people don't know right away the actual meaning of what say, but one thing for sure: each word is there for a reason and they are part of something bigger than a brief poem. You're great!
As I am writing this, this blog is currently in the works as it's so far only an initial spur-of-the-moment idea. If I manage to actually get anything on this thing, then awesome! :D
