Dandelion

Dandelion is my fourth collection of haiku. I have decided in this book to display these haiku like the Japanese do their own — in a single line. This format is more yin in nature, more feminine, in keeping with the current drift of humanity toward a softer, more receptive focus.

The ancient Chinese have taught us in the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine that long and thin is yinner than whatever is compact and blocky, which is yanger. Therefore a sperm is more yin and an egg more yang.
