Selected
Haiku
by
Jennifer
L. Schultz
I
like to think that my haiku tell a story; whether or not that
story is mine is anybody's guess. But perhaps they tell a
story nonetheless. I leave it up to the reader's imagination
to decide.
In
this collection, you will find my favorite and most powerful
haiku arranged somewhat seasonally. The images I have chosen
begin in late summer and progress through autumn, dwell in
winter, and finally blossom towards spring in the final pages.
Some poems describe nature and its effects on the author's
surroundings. Others lean more toward a personal life and
the events that may have occurred during those seasons in
years past.
The
collection is an intertwining of life and its surroundings,
the seasons in relation to the events they produce. My only
hope is that it speaks to you, the reader, as strongly as
it speaks to me. Let the images free in your mind and see
what stories the haiku bring back to you. Enjoy!
