I am Zen (Japanese): a Haiku reader.
Haiku has the shortest poem form in the world, which was originated in Japan. Now we can enjoy Haiku poems all over the world. We do not have to get the detailed knowledge to appreciate Haiku poems, I think. "Read and taste gently " is the best way to access Haiku spirit. I pick up East European Haiku poets' works.
I miss Slovak Haiku Poets very much. ?o?????????@let me know if someone in your neighbors creats a Haiku.

climbing my arm

touches the water

patching a hole
in my shoe

Silence-
the sclupter and his head of clay
watching each other

Sour plum-
my mouth puckers
as she takes a bite

The cold wind's roar-
unmistakeably a dog,
this knot in the beam

Raking aside leaves
on the backyard pond
I release the moon
