A Collection of Moments
by
Julia Shaver
My
haiku are called "A Collection of Moments" because
that is what they are. There is no special order to them or
even a reason for their placement. It is just at complete
random order; the same way they were written. I really enjoy
all of these haiku, and I feel that a lot of these moments
bring back great memories. I hope you enjoy them as much as
I do.

Julia's haiku can relate to anyone. They are many times about experiences that everyone has encountered in their life. She does not use fancy words or different forms to her haiku. They are very simple but you can tell they have a lot of ideas in them. I really enjoyed her first haiku about polka dots because I can visualize it and it is really interesting to have stars be made into something else. Her haiku are good for reading at any time or any place and always leave you with a good feeling.
