Gaiku-ryu 四十三

- Gyoga Chujo  (Kushuu [句集] Collection of Haiku Poems)

WARRIORS

spilling less blood 

is the weapon of reputation; 

 a person of character ✍🏼 

beautiful tones 

of fresh water chuckling;

cascading over rocks ✍🏼 

ZEN

zen master ordered

a hotdog 🌭;

one with everything ✍🏼 

VOICES

a silent voice cries

out in the dark of night;

it's only a dream 😴 ✍🏼 

WARRIORS 

seeing clearly often

being more blind than seeing

don't know you don't know ⌨️ 

setting aside reality

to tell a great story;

fiction is to let go ⌨️ 

feelings of loss

as if life's cord is severed;

grab the life line quickly ⌨️
