Selected Haiku
by
Barry Cripe
Here is a collection of the Haiku that I have written through the duration of the course. When I first started the course, I didn’t quite know what to expect. The term “haiku” is something that I have never heard of before and graduating from a small school (Cerro Gordo High School), I did not have the opportunity to experience it. Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry that is usually written in the English version with three lines. Haiku is in the format of having one image, a pause, then a second image. The idea of the pause is the time when the first image is virtually established. Overall, I really enjoyed the course, and it really helped me to open up to my feelings and also to look at my surroundings at a different angle. I would like to thank Dr. Brooks for his instruction and patience with our class. He did a tremendous job of teaching us about the inner workings of Global Haiku. Best of luck to you!!
