Hi,
I would like some clarity on why this is a haiku, when it is using an image as a metaphor, ' squids/bank clerks....and using the word ' like,' and the whole, sounding like a statement...?
Is it the translation ? Or do I see a clear space ahead where there is no such thing as a western haiku, just a short poem based on a metaphor?
like squids
bank clerks are fluorescent
from the morning
Kaneko Tota
Is ' the morning ' the second image/catalyst?
Regards
Nicole
