<\/a>Haiku<\/em> is a type of short form poetry originally from Japan<\/a>. Traditional Japanese haiku consist of three phrases that contain a kireji<\/a>, or “cutting word”, 17 on<\/a> (a type of Japanese phoneme<\/a>) in a 5, 7, 5 pattern, and a kigo<\/a>, or seasonal reference. Similar poems that do not adhere to these rules are generally classified as senry\u016b<\/a>.<\/em> (Wikipedia)<\/p>\n<\/a><\/em>Richard Falk is a member of the\u00a0TRANSCEND Network<\/strong><\/a>, an international relations scholar, professor emeritus of international law at Princeton University,\u00a0Distinguished Research Fellow, Orfalea Center of Global Studies,\u00a0UCSB,\u00a0author, co-author or editor of 60 books, and a speaker and activist on world affairs.\u00a0In 2008, the\u00a0United Nations Human Rights Council<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(UNHRC) appointed Falk to two three-year terms as a\u00a0United Nations Special Rapporteur <\/strong><\/a>on \u201cthe situation of human rights in the\u00a0Palestinian territories<\/strong><\/a> occupied since 1967.\u201d Since 2002 he has lived in Santa Barbara, California, and associated with the local campus of the University of California, and for several years chaired the Board of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation.
