Everything Everywhere [NaviarHaiku470]

Music’s everywhere:
the sea, the wind, the rain, the
storm, the raging fire.

Isabel del Rio is a British-Spanish poet, author and linguist. Born in Madrid, she has lived in London most of her life.

She writes and has published poetry and fiction in both English and Spanish. She is a great admirer of Japanese poetic forms, and her poetry is as concise and intense as her preferred composition, the haiku 5-7-5.

Her poetry collections include Madrid Madrid Madrid, Dolorem Ipsum, and Cuaderno de notas. Her most recent fiction includes Paradise & Hell, A Woman Alone: fragments of a memoir, and La autora del fin del mundo.

She has worked as a full-time broadcaster and journalist for the BBC World Service, and as a full-time translator and terminologist for a London-based UN agency. She is currently studying for a PhD in Creative Writing.

Little Crooked Sketch

Naviarhaiku 488

in dream world
was I laughing at a turtle?
winter seclusion

Among the four great masters of Japanese haiku, Kobayashi Issa was the most prolific: during his lifetime he wrote over 20,000 haiku, hundreds of tanka, and several haibun. If you want to find out more about this prolific author I suggest you check out this database of his haiku.

From the Haiku Guy website:

“Perhaps Issa’s dream is symbolic. Like a turtle, he is hunkered inside his shell (hut), waiting out the harsh winter weather. Or, William Nicholas offers a different interpretation, noting that the turtle is linked with good luck and longevity in Japan. In 1812 Issa was still a bachelor; he married two years later. At this point in his life he longed for the good luck of marriage and family life, hence the dream turtle’s teasing laughter?”
