Haïku : short poems, strong effects | Pascale Senk | TEDxCelsa


Yes
yeah we have hear me tonight in
November 2015
shortly after the events
paris hit the attacks I
felt the need to collect myself
to these places I knew well
I must tell you that my mother
lives above the restaurant p’ti
Cambodia a place we frequent
really often and I wanted
a few days later to find myself
before this terrace was
hit heavily so I
down and there I found myself
before the end of tiny sidewalk
tiny I had never seen a city
as vulnerable so I stood
I felt like that feelings
varied very contradictory ago
was anger
there was rage there was
grief
there was a feeling of helplessness
you probably felt you
as I was speechless and I was
without words when I got back to my
mother I took a pencil and a small
book and I wrote these few
gray lines on the sidewalks
bunches of dead flowers
as they get wet on
gray sidewalks flower bouquets
faded as they wet
I wrote last haiku poem
Japanese original inspiration
Japanese about 17 syllables in three
lines 5 7 5 syllables it was nothing
it was a fleeting feeling breath
passing but having it written that
helped me to fit my emotions
it helped me to express them and to
keep track and I can tell you
tonight when I talk to you and
when I read this haiku I have the same
emotion returns
so how is this possible
how – Easter each journalist
celsa formed so accustomed to
long investigation of feeds
very built documentation
used to illustrate my how
I, who have never been to Japan
who does not speak Japanese
how am I becoming a
jeans ie someone who writes
for it is still strong coffee
well everything came some ten
years of a dinner with a friend one
discussing both and she says
I am very tired right now I
sleep very badly oh well
my curiosity awakens and there it me
says I spend my nights on the internet has
exchanged brief poems with
Quebec poets then that I had
never heard that it was really
incredible and as I am a journalist
I have investigated and there I discovered a
world a world that happens to our
probably unbeknownst which is in the process of
probably quietly disseminate
thanks to the internet it is said that
twitter founders were inspired
Japanese haiku to create their
social network
ie in fact it nano poems
17 syllables I remind you breath
he was born in the seventeenth century in Japan and
it continues to spread in mass
while in Japan must obviously
that national dailies
national newspapers receive
six and seven thousand haiku readers
per year
especially when there are disasters
Fukushima where as when there are
Readers send political moments
their haikus that are selected
but it is not only in Japan Suede
fade haïkus to Morocco
Oujda is the main city of haiku
in Quebec to the United States
and in France where finally without
we really know in
writing workshops in schools
in hospitals in homes
retirement gradually this small format
that breath also said I wanted
twice when I wanted to say it is
so short that it needs to be said
twice and Japanese
it must be said in an expiry
is tell you how it is
Light is tell you how
So it’s nothing that I discovered
haikus spread quietly as
I asked why
Internet course they travel light
so it’s easy to exchange
internationally to cross
borders through new
technology but not only
what I discovered and that it
communicating that interest all
you are
is that if this Small spreads
as well because they diffuse
the essential and the essential is what
First it is deeply
Democratic was born in the seventeenth
century at a time when poetry
belonged to the scholars of the court and
or slowly-poor
monks peasants seized the
poetry to grow socially and
through japan it is exchanged as
poems that he participated in
contest
it results in games and he
developed
they too become poets
So in his DNA there are still
something of the order of
Democracy something that opens
but not only
First there is that you are who briefs
for us is really a question
that we are drowning in blogs too
long as the comments below
folders feeds haiku with his
brevity reminds us that life
pass through a breath and every time
listening to a haiku you
hear in the silence is this
life going and that it comes from
Zen Buddhism has nurtured this
Poetry is almost monks
Japan through the writing mini
poems
he had to keep reminding
impermanence of life
So each time that a pass haïku
this is a moment if you need
remember one thing tonight is that
where a catch is a moment but there is no
not that it is also a haiku
wonderful nature celebration
constantly because we must always
in his first poems evoked a
animal plant plant so
that’s why when you read
haikus what happened to me
first time I felt like
to have a fountain of youth that
happened to me I heard maple
otter fireflies glycine
out of rivers than words
I had not heard had never
heard this is the second effect
haiku reminds us that we
belonged cosmos with all these
living beings and suddenly we
our place as one off like this
fireflies
Finally, the third thing that
haïkus is the anti bling in
this poetry is found as bowls
log cabins dirt roads
sticks delights sandals
Summer cross the river sandals
delights in hand to cross the
River summer sandals in hand you
realize it was written
seventeenth century by a monk and I
sure that among you there are plenty who
have been there who can identify
why because it’s simple life
the real lives of real people with
the essential
So little by little this is what I
says in my book I visited
account that the haiku is a form
active meditation
it allowed me to be more present
read and write allowed me
to be more present to watch
to detail the moments
password and develop what
Zen monks called the shiori shiori
it’s sympathy for anything that
comes to you living beings and the
world
so today we talk a lot
job altruism of compassion
Big words indeed sympathy
for things to change your life so
I realized that I can say
turn and I claim this
poetic practice as a meditation
active accessible to everyone
that’s why we took her in
Schools also then you will tell me
as compared to our poetry Fleury
metaphorical
ultimately can not express great
thing in 17 syllables, well think again
eg you there are today
financial consultants who write
Office haikus Igor cayzelle peyron
that’s his name he wrote this one by
eg in the bullpen and ficus
me
in the bullpen ficus and I was
all experienced that we are in a meeting
had enough years running under
a plant is said Blessed
I can also tell you a story
love 3 x 17 x March 56 maximum labs
the beginnings of the first love with a
poet called the Likud tarp
zai sweetness of spring in the bed
your sweetness pants spring at the bottom
bed
your panties and then the couple settled
want to live daily
and there is a poet called
Bicocchi told us that you still have
warm in the footsteps of his lips
asked my lips traces yet you
still warm on the trail of his
Asked lips my lips this is the
couple live this wonderful time
companionship and then and then a
poet called mg fall for us
gives its final version
time passes she decided more
more
time passes she decided more
the more you see I told you
Love Story in not even 50
syllables
So it’s possible then it is also
powerful in the way of transcending
borders touching spirits
who know nothing nothing in Japan
This culture is also because it
sharer is really haiku is
never finished
this is not a these small boundaries
cc 17 syllables which are the borders
Tiny are not closed is
that it is finished it is also a
little stiff said the hearing as a haik
open circle is closed by the poet
by the reader because it’s you by
your interpretation that would end
such contemporary haiku written
during the presidential by
poet called bin couderc it
wrote this one visit to my father
rotten tee shirt poutous visit
at my father’s place
the t-shirt or rotten what doggies
what you hear is that yelled
with his father because of the tee shirt
poutous or that the T-shirt
poutous that bore his father has
anger that even brought him the
same shirt that it is you who poutou
will finish this bonus is you who
are returned to your life your
history to finish
besides, I have a little gift for
you through the whole team
magnificent celsa who helped me the
set up tonight you
away with a catch or yours that
that you stumbled tonight
then you will bring him back home
go read it you’ll wonder
he wants to tell you you
say what it reminds me of my
life on my relationships
what is this ancient wisdom as
it happens through this event
it is under your seat could
watch the team of celsa has you
stuck if you will look under the
seat
it’s true you will come away with
that little thing that breath
I wish you to watch it from the
mention in your head of the
meditate
I hope that you will cross hui
your own borders thank you
[Applause]
