On this side, the side where the sun does not burn
are the stories…
On that side, where the sunburn has reached through to bone,
are the songs…
On the ocean float away all my worries, illusions, bad dreams and lost hope…
C.2024, Francisco Bravo Cabrera, 08 JAN 2024, Valencia, Spain
Just to remind you, a Euro-Ku is a style I developed back in February 2022 when I tried to write a Japanese poem. But being that I am a Westerner I could not manage to get into the spirit. One cannot write what one is not familiar with. One has to have the experience and the life knowledge to write and one must write what is relative to one’s time and one’s place. But since I loved the idea of brevity, I created the Euro-Ku. It is not a Japanese haiku, it is adapted to our western mind and experience. I invite you to try it. It contains three verses (lines) of any length, but they must fit cohesively with each other and without metaphoric phrases that float away to nowhere. It must stick together like good glue and must be accompanied by an original illustration.
CHEERS…
