After this haiku course I became more introspective about the little things in life. The class made me look at things in a different way, think about each individual action, thought and word. I found haiku very insightful and meaningful. I wrote mainly from memories and feelings. Seasonal haiku and relationships are where most of my writings came from. This book contains some of my work that I feel closest to.

long
summer day |

asleep
on the floor |

snow
covered hill |

alone
in the city |

rubbing
sweat from her brow |

Spitler Woods Park Ginko crisp
air beneath
the trees naked
stems frail
grass branches
against blue sky autumn
breeze barren
land down
the path cool
morning air sitting
on the old log frost

of

watching
their

heavily
chapped
lips songs
from
