MODERN HAIKUS

Iwan Goll

From the broken pitcher

Of the crescent moon 

The Milky Way pours across the heavens

The German poet Iwan Goll wrote of a Zenithist poetry, with which one could ”ascend with the airship and gaze from the zenith at the shrinking globe.“ He saw the haiku as the perfect form for such poetry. (first English translation)
