Hataciku — The Language of Love
In Just 11 Lines
THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE
Prime and powerful
Words are all I have to say
How much I love you
.
Be mine all Seasons
These 11 lines say best
Nothing more to add
Just to take your heart away
As above and so below
.
One in harmony
As within and so without
We are connected
A Hataciku poem consists of 65 syllables written in 3 stanzas as 11 lines of phrase arranged in the pattern sequence of 5–7–5–5–7–5–7–7–5–7–5 = 65 syllables.
When included the “Head” (or Title), the poem has 66 syllables.
This is interesting because 11 factorials (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11) = 66.
Hataciku poets have a deep sensitivity and awareness of their surroundings, including things one cannot see. As they hone their writing skills to produce the 11 lines, 3 stanzas, and 65 syllables Hataciku poem, they spend a lifetime learning to trust their intuition as they increasingly encounter the more complex aspects of life and human relations.
With every Hataciku poem, they develop clearer visions of the infinity of humanity and the universe as they write to express them in simple words within the structure of 11 lines.
11 is a prime number, defined as being only divisible by 1 or by itself. By itself, 11 or (1+1) equals 2, another prime number. Note too that earlier, 65 or (6+5) also equals 11, even as 65 (not itself a prime number) is composed of yet another two prime numbers of 5 and 13. And 66 or (6+6) equals 12 that is not a prime number but (1+2) = 3 is. 11 and 2 live independently in solitude like other prime numbers among crowded natural numbers.
In the space between the natural prime numbers of 2, 3, 5, 11 and 13 can be found the essence of Hataciku, where amazing human creativity and intellectual license roam wild and free to produce the wonderful Hataciku poetry that soothes and comforts the heart, mind and soul.
Better mental health and greater personal ability to cope with transient joy, happiness, despair, and disappointments result from their growth experience as Hataciku poets embrace the harmony and connectedness of the universe. Focusing on the 11-lines structure reduces their reliance on the logical brain or emotional heart in order to follow the silent wisdom of their spiritual inner voice.
Relationships and teamwork are therefore the networking keys for peer-to-peer creation and cooperative learning within the Hataciku Community to fulfill their ultimate potential. The Community is motivated to facilitate a holistic collective mindware that provides support, attention, and understanding of each other’s feelings expressed in their Hataciku poems.
Together, they embolden and empower one another as each navigates without lighted signs to think and choose how to connect the dots, reduce words, increase syllables and fill in the space between words to within 11 lines and 65 syllables in order to conjure deeper and more precise meaning in the final Hataciku poem marked by its simplicity and elegance.
The 11 lines of a Hataciku poem project a more powerful intuitive message than prose or any other number of poetry lines. When written as 1:1, the 2 dots in-between 11 can represent the illusion of duality. Both numbers “1”, as mirrored reflections, remind us of the true cosmic unity that all things that appear separate are in fact connected in more ways than meet the eye. In the Hataciku space of 11 lines, we, therefore, become one with the universe immersed in the natural language of love.
