ik 220
(Jorio/ Joria-haibun/tanka)
*reasonably civilized
let a library be
a copse for imagination
let ichor flow through
your active atavistic veins
exhale infected
menace, through your warm pastel
thin cranberry blood
figure education life long
let your bony cranium
expand as an opening
door; eliminate nebulous thought

Karma is cause and effect. Dharma means cosmic law.
Yoga is enlightenment through movement and Tao is the
practice of acting in harmony with the fundamental essence
of everything you encounter.
Note: my haiku (or other forms) are my interpretations
or of how I might put the inspirational sentence
into practice, for me. Also, I am going in my own order.
