dodoitsu/haibun
animal house?
bear with me on this theme please
grizzly as it may seem;
I’d rather be free than in
the circus dancing
lovely how it is
that our emotions provide
daily amusement

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.
“Dodoitsu is a form of Japanese poetry developed towards the end of the Edo Period.
Often concerning love or work, and usually comical,
Dodoitsu poems consist of four lines
with the syllabic structure 7-7-7-5 and no rhyme or metre.”
haibun = poetic verse including haiku
