Serge Tomé - introduction

Born in 1956, a happy wedding, two children. My education in physics has given me an unusual look on the world. Thanks to my job as network specialist, I have a lot of short instants to daydream.

More than ten years ago, I discovered the T'ang and chan Chinese poetry. I appreciate this way of describing the world through little touches, in raw, leaving the reader reconstructing images, and its integration of the sensitive world. I prefer short forms, evanescent. Haiku seems to me a logical path, an effective technic.
I write because I like it, to share emotions, instants to remember. I publish on different internet mailing-lists and servers.

I have created several haiku internet sites to show the diversity of the genre and to help good authors to be known. They are each a personal involvement to offer to authors and associations a space for publication free from any commercial constraints open to the international community. :

temps libres - free times : https://www.tempslibres.org :
On of the first sites of the emerging international haiku community. A site dedicated to information, publication, reading, contact, but also a weekly, monthly page and a dozen of sites of invitees.

Marjorie A. Buettner (USA)
In the living season ... De merveilleux tankas et haiku sur l'amour, la mort, l'absence, le temps qui fuit. Une poésie riche de sensations, de sensualité intense, de désespoir parfois, très proche de la poésie japonaise de la période Heian.

In the living season ... These are wonderful tanka and haiku about love, death, absence and time. It is a poetry rich with feelings: sometimes sensual, sometimes despairing yet always close to the Japanese poetry of the Heian Period.

Summer evenings : Haïku day by day, an intimistc style, a very large palette of emotions.
