Hiding Sun – Haiku – March 15, 2016

late afternoon sun
over-shadowed by the hills
hides among the boats

“The “pseudo-science” technique is very close to the paradox but has a slight difference. This technique demonstrates a distorted view of science – one we think is not true, but has the possibility of being true, perhaps when we understand quantum physics or all become poets. When the “other reality” the author was using is explained, the poem becomes absolutely clear. Again, this is an old Japanese tool that was used to make the poet sound simple and childlike but also to confound the reader.”

the day ends
buttercups share their golden light –
the moon rises
