Journeys, A Haiku Sequence Poem by Chen-ou Liu
Journeys, A Haiku Sequence
for the country of my birth
Sintra at dawn
a carriage horse
clip-clop, clip-clops...
Lisbon heat
taxis rattle and screech
through cobbled lanes
Belem in twilight
her sailor song tinged
with love and regret
'Ilha Formosa...'
sailors and I cry out
in a fleeting dream
Note: In 1544, a Portuguese ship sighted the main island of Taiwan and named it 'Ilha Formosa, ' which means “Beautiful Island.”)
