Let haiku be on the UNESCO list!
Here is a letter of support of the campaign from Ms. Sanja Petrov, Oprtalj, Croatia.
We sincerely wish to appreciate and share it with each other.
The first haiku I met in a journal for children, “Radost.”
Since then, haiku became a part of my life.
Life in the present in search of beauty in common and everyday things and its briefness are of a great help to each man and woman in these turbulent times. Immersion into Nature without self-assertion is necessary for all egocentrics.
As a teacher, I’m very pleased for having forwarded love for Nature and (haiku) poetry to generations of my pupils.
Prve haiku pjesme pročitala sam u dječjem časopisu “Radost”.
Utada je haiku sastavni dio mog života.
Život u sadašnjosti,traženje ljepote u običnim stvarima i kratkoća svima su nam potrebni u ovim burnim vremenima.
uranjanje u prirodu i ne isticanje vlastirog ja potrebno je svim egocentricima.
Drago mi je što sam ljubav prema prirodi i poeziji prenijela na svoje učenike.
