Let haiku be on the UNESCO list!

 

Here is a letter of support of the campaign from Ms. Marija Maretić, Žminj, Istria, Croatia.

We sincerely wish to appreciate and share it with each other.

 

What does haiku poetry mean to me?

 

For me, haiku is a great challenge.  Because of the brevity of language expression haiku poetry opens the door to the depth of human thought and feeling, creativity each individuality, finding simplicity and powerful experience within themselves.

 

It is not easy to be a poet, feel experiences and express oneself creatively. But, writing haiku brings inner peace to both readers and poets, giving them the power to live and gain a broader perspective of the World.  Towards haiku poetry I gain a respect, for it is not art only, but discipline and the way of thinking about life altogether.  I hope, in the future I will be working on haiku poetry as a therapy, as well,  for it ennobles my time and brings the flow of new energy to me for all the upcoming challenges.

 

I love haiku that respects life in any form or existence.  Haiku certainly should be protected because he builds bridges between people around the world, creating new friendships.

 

In a grain of wheat

a poet discovered

a sprout of life

 

Wishing our haiku a long lasting future over the whole World, in haiku friendship

Što mi znači haiku poezija?

 

Ona je za mene veliki izazov. Zbog sažetosti jezičnog izraza haiku poezija otvara vrata dubini ljudskih misli i osjećaja, kreativnost svakog pojedinca, spoznaju jednostavnosti i snažan doživljaj svega oko sebe.

 

Nije lako biti pjesnik, očutiti doživljaje i ispoljiti kreativnu nepotrošivost, ali pisanje haiku poezije pjesnicima donaša unutrašnji mir dajući im snagu za širinu pogleda na svijet. Prema haiku poeziji imam mnogo poštovanja, jer ono nije tek umijeće nego i disciplina i način razmišljanja o životu. Nadam se da ću i u budućnosti koristiti terapiju haiku poezije koja mi omogućuje oplemenjivanje vremena i dotok nove energije za sve nadolazeće izazove.

 

Volim haiku koji poštuje život u svakom obliku ili postojanju.Haiku svakako treba zaštititi jer upravo on gradi mostove među ljudima širom svijeta stvarajući nova prijateljstva.

 

U zrnu žita

pjesnik je pronašao

klicu života.
