a firefly lights the page

“ sometimes you get to read a good haiku poem written by a western poet, but many western poets mistakenly think that three lines, preferably 5-7-5 syllables in length, make a haiku. the haiku of nepalese poet janak sapkota offer what most western haiku miss: that delicate eastern flavour, turning a handful of words into poetry, into real haiku”

– germain droogenbroodt, flemish poet
