Even One Sentence is Too Long
This book is super thin. I think it is one of the best advantages in this book. Only 172 pages in total, but there are just a few words per page. A page only has about 30 words. I am sure you can read this book in an hour, but I am sure that you will be touched after reading it, and will be given the impression that lasts longer than an hour.
This book is a collection of short poems called “Haiku”. Haiku is Japanese meaning ‘very short poem.’ This haiku basically consists of 17 words. Haiku looks very simple. So, you will be able to read in one breath. But the excitement that you’ll feel as you read poem is enough to calm down your mind.
So, here is a sample of poem I would like to share with you.
A flower petal falling down
and it rises up again
Oh. It was a butterfly
I hope you can feel the warm and beautiful spring with this short poem.
