"I'm on my way to the 'five-lines-poem' gathering."
- What is a "five-lines-poem"?
"It's a poem. You just write down what ever you think in five lines."
- When did you start writing them?
"About 55 years ago. I invented the style when I was 19. At first, I was doing it alone, but now it became a large community. There are about 100 people."
-Why in five lines?
"In Japanese traditional poems you have to use 5, 7, 5, 7 and 7 words in each verse. But that's stressful. My feelings couldn't be described in that style."
"Touched a deep heart / happiness / comes to me / because I know / there are greater people."
- What kind of message is in this poem?
Most of people think they know themselves better than others. But sometime, others know better than themselves.
