I was intrigued by the similarities between this poem by Visceral/Realism and the one we posted last week. Both haiku are about travelers and exploration, but while Phocasm’s poem highlighted how borders and differences become unimportant when we see things from a different angle, Visceral/Realism’s haiku seems to be more focused on the importance of the journey itself: “It is the journey that matters, in the end” someone once said. Curiosity is what leads us to explore what we don’t know, and by exploring we learn more about other cultures and ourselves.
