Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to analyse the haiku poems by Eduard Ţară which have been published in the haiku book Luna în ţǎndǎri (2021), after years of intense activity and winning the highest number of prizes in haiku contests at international level. He is one of the main personalities of the Romanian haiku communities. The poem from which the title of the book is the third line (“After the frog’s leap -/ only a splash in the night/ and the moon to shards”) can be regarded as an example of optical illusion, according to the author of this paper, and as an example of mirror reflection, according to Atanasiu (2022). Other examples of techniques in his poems will be analysed as well.
