Say Sayonara

This is a Haiku I am writing which I never new before coming to the Blog world. I see and read of few bloggers who write Haiku, it was interesting to me, to know this style of Japanese poetry writing; it seems it consists of three lines only and the first line being of 5 syllables, second line of 7 syllables and again the third line of 5 syllables. This information I am giving to those who do not know about this form of poetry writing.

 I am humble to say that the title I have used is a Japanese word now popularly used in English and other languages of the world since the 19th century.

These particular lines made me to write when I meet or have met so many people in this world who are on the verge of leaving this world.

To your surprise it’s a strange fact that you all have met these people in your regular course of life.

Be it an ailing patient, an old person, fatal accidental injury, chronic disease, drowning person, a person in coma….. so on and so forth…..

These people might be our own kith and kin, very old person in the family, friend in bed for long, anybody whom we know or not is very near to death. Who would say Goodbye through his eyes, hand movements, or by words or anything which shall make us know he/she wants to say Sayonara.

    You know I never thought about it that way but you are right. We have met these people through our lifetime, and I wonder now which ones they were. Hmmm
    Well done on the Haiku, very smart!
    Deb!

      I just thought of that word “Sayonara” in the last moment instead of Goodbye!
      Thankyou so much.

      Dear Christa!
      The first time I heard about the word ‘Sayonara’ it was when I was in high school a film called ‘Love in Tokyo’ of 1966 in Hindi, in India, was released and there was a song on Sayonara which made me remember that, while I was finalizing this Haiku, then I thought why should I not use this word instead of Goodbye as it also means the same. But in the movie it is used as Goodbye for the present. This movie and the song had become a big hit.
      Since Christa, you say the word Sayonara is most beautiful Japanese word to you, I herewith put this link of the song for you to enjoy maybe after having a sorrowful mood reading this post. If you have heard that song hear it once again and enjoy. If you have not heard it at all, you shall love to hear it again and again.In any case please inform me or put your nice comment here.

      Its all for YOU and may be for others who come here.
      Have a nice Day!
      Shiva

        That is great, it reminds me of my younger days watching saturday Bollywood movies with my aunt, though I don’t understand, am sure the lyrics are really beautiful.

          The lyrics are coming on the screen as the song is being played, you watch it carefully and listen to the song. If you are interested to know about Bollywood Music and Lyrics go read my Post “Greatest Musicians and Lyricists of Bollywood” but with only one condition, you should have lot of time for that or else read it taking intervals, OK.
          Sayonara for Now.

      I think you should go to the main You tube screen and see as I think I have seen the titles appearing there. You just check, since you have liked the tune you shall like the song too.
      You inform me in any case, I shall check it for you.
      Have a nice sleep with the song in your head.

      Telling Sayonara is always touching.

      Its of a movie of 1966 “Love in Tokyo”
      I had seen that movie when I was a child.It was fascinating too.
      Thanks

    What a post! Sayonara…the title didn’t indicate the depth of what was going to come my way! And the photographs stand out! Loss is never easy and through these photographs and the haiku, you have stirred the deepest emotions in me. Well done. Cheers…

      Your comment did stir mine.
      I recommend you to read my Post “…in this stupid body” since you are moved by this, I think that shall still move you a little further. Only read it slowly line by line; I am sorry I should not put it this way but only for You.
      Its in my Poetry menu.
      Thanks for the follow.

    Poignant and very sad.
    This Haiku is different in format from what I’m used to. My writing group does Haiku in poetry format – 3 lines – on a single focus.
    Take care.

    It’s so difficult to say sayonara when you love someone so much, but its better then seeing them in pain. I love how you have mentioned two beautiful songs in the aftermath of this post… Love old songs, these two are on my lips more then usual.. Every time someone goes away the song “zindgi ke safar me bichad jate he jo mukamm…” plays somewhere in my mind. whilst the other one I just use to make fun with my papa when I go out… hhaha thanks for bringing back some wonderful memoirs…

    Have a wonderful day dear 🙂

    Parting is painful,
    To part n never to meet again is very painful!
    Have always associated this word with sadness
    But it’s been portrayed so beautifully n it tugs at your heart strings,leaving an indelible print !!
    Fantastic n Fabulous tugging at all Your Heartstrings!!
    You are a man of ink.. Par Excellence!!!
