Birth marks beginnings,
Death, yet another innings;
Why’s game of life without end?
_________________________________________
Haiku, a genre of poem of Japanese
origin, has only 17, or 19, or 21 syllables
in all. Haiku means ‘the beginning’.
Haiku poets say, ‘we only begin, we
never end.’ What the poet begins, the
reader may try to complete by setting
his imagination to sail. Life too, like a
Haiku poem, has only a beginning. For,
who has seen the end?
