| Abstract : Perpustakaan Tuanku Bainun |
| The study has three objectives. The first objective is to identify and analyse the components of nature using the notion of natural elements. The second objective of this study is to identify and analyse the natural aspects present in M. Murugesh's collection of haiku poems. The third objective is to analyse the correlation between the natural components shown in M. Murugesh's haiku and the lifestyle of the Tamil people. This study employs a bibliographic approach, utilising content and descriptive analysis methods based on selected haiku collections of M.Murugesh. The analysis and debate are grounded in the theory of natural elements. This study also examines the lifestyle of the Tamil people, which is intricately connected to the five fundamental natural elements: water, earth, clouds, wind, and fire. The study's findings indicate that there are a total of 165 haiku poems that use natural aspects. This collection contains 58 haiku inspired by the water element, 20 haiku inspired by the earth element, 28 haiku inspired by the wind element, 54 haiku inspired by the space element, and just 4 haiku inspired by the fire element. Each of these 165 haiku poems imparts essential life lessons that can be acquired by reading and applied in one's daily pursuits. M. Murugesh's haiku draws inspiration from nature to establish a connection between human existence and the resources bestowed by nature. By immersing oneself in an appropriate environment, one can grasp the essence of certain poems in M. Murugesh's haiku collection, which is deeply rooted in the Tamil's way of life. This may expand the reader's perspective on this haiku. |
