Thank you so much for your great comment on my post about your Haiku : Spring Jasmine. I feel very honored and excited.

In fact, I've learnt a lot from your blog--the difference between Haiku and Senryu. Just as you wrote, Haiku/Senryu is to create a perfect snapshot of life. I see eye to eye with you, although it is the first time for me to hear about Senryu. I guess maybe I prefer Haiku to Senryo, since Haiku is more about natural scenery, similar to ancient Chinese quatrain, like a painting.

And you are right. "There are considerations around language and translation that are difficult to deal with. " In Chinese Lu-Shi/quatrain, there is a special rhetoric named pairing or antithesis. (i.e. noun to noun, verb to verb.) Sorry, I don't know how to explain it in English well. A great example which comes to my mind is a famous quatrain written by Du Fu(Poem Saint).
两个黄鹂鸣翠柳
Two yellow orioles sing in the green willows,
一行白鹭上青天
A flock of white egrets surge up the blue sky.
Here, you see
两个and一行are both quantifier.
黄鹂and白鹭are both noun.
鸣and上are both verb.
翠柳and青天are both noun.

At the same time, I have to admit, many times I have difficulty in reading your English poems. I've read your poem: Born of Blossom for several times and my intuition told me that it is a good poem. I can feel its beauty in some way. However, for my part, a lot of new vocabulary is such a huge barrier that I fail to understand it better till now.

Having said that, I really have great interests in reading/learning your beautiful Haiku and poem/fictions.
