Faceless
Haiku
is emotion and experience wrapped up into three short lines.
Life is made up of the same two things and lasts only a few
short years. The haiku that follow are simply emotions or
experiences that I or someone I know have gone through crammed
into a small capsule. So please, take one or two and call
me in the morning.

Introduction
Andrew
T. Harrison and I met casually before our attendance at Millikin
University. Through our mutual advisor, we began to find that
we had quite a few common interests. I was rather relieved
when I found out that I was to room with him freshman year.
The times we spent together were fun-filled, and I found that
I had a true friend in Andrew. He is a sensitive person who
never fails to see the humor in situations. Andrew also seems
to be the grounded one. While he has great dreams, he never
lets them get in the way of his life. His vision isn’t
blurred by the niceties that others seem to find necessary
to get through a day. Instead, he sees the realism of the
world, and makes that the nicest place to be.
In this
collection, "Faceless," Andrew wonderfully captures
all of the niceties of the world without including anything
trite. The images are all true to life, and they manage to
bring out a feeling of oneness with everything. The world
may not be the most wonderful thing all of the time, but it
is magnificent at moments. I’m sure that the following
will take you on a journey through the everyday that you won’t
forget. I know that when you emerge on the other side, you
will see things with a little bit of Andrew, and that’s
what makes the world fun.
