The reference to Shakespeare in a Japanese poem juxtaposes the two poetic traditions beautifully,
while encouraging us to look up and be one with the beauty around us.

MY ARTIST'S STATEMENT:　

First, thank you very much to Dreamers Creative Writing.

I learned biology at university because I was interested in nature and “living”.

Why are we living, what is life, and how should we live?
I am still in the middle of this long way. Shakespeare, and many poets (as well as scientists), can show us ways of living these days by their universal thinking.

Nature and mind are connected according to the Haiku worldview.

I try to weave my will into my Haiku.
My Haikus are a little conceptual and sensible, probably because I mainly write free verses in Japan.
However, Haiku and its rhythm are always in my life, as are Basho, Issa, and many contemporary Haiku writers.
I would be happy if, in the future, more people get to know about the beauty and the deep worldview of Haiku.

– Emi Miyaoka

Thank you for Dreamers Creative Writing,
James Brandon,
and everyone in this world !

This poem is a bit sensuous, like an abstract painting. “Diophantine Approximation” is named after Diophantus of Alexandria. (About AC200~) (Also known as the father of algebra) It is a branch of number theory that studies how to approximate one number (such as the real numbers) by another number with a simpler structure (such a

MY MAXIM, June in 2023

I will upload MY MAXIM, which I write as a hobby, to this blog on a whim💬 ・It may be a happy thing that we live in an age of symbiotic coexistence rather than competition for survival. 現代は生存のために競争するというよりは、生きるために共生共存してゆく時代であり、それは幸せなことなのかもしれない。*Japanese ・To be in touch with the wonder of humanity is the joy of living. 人間の素晴らしさにふれることは生きる喜び。・You are hope just the way you are. “あなたはそのままで希望だよ”
