RE: High High is the Snow? ~ Haiku of Japan

in Blockchain Poets4 years ago

That's the way to do it. That is exactly one of the reasons why I love them. I think there is the initial reading and impression we get based on that, then there is the more detailed reading, looking at the background, the diary entry that went with the haiku (if there was one), any references to older Chinese poetry (very common in older haiku), and so on. I try to provide at least some of this info in my posts.
