IN203 Honors Seminar: Global Haiku Tradition |
|
|
As the Rain Begins to Fall by for Craig, because you never forget to tell me that you're proud of me Sarah Corso is a freshman English Literature Major from Litchfield, IL. “Many of my haiku are about growing up and finding love in a small town. Others are the creations of my fantastic, and sometimes slightly morbid, imagination. All together, they make for one crazy mix of haiku.” |

Author's Introduction The haiku in this collection are just about the best representation of my eclectic self that I could ever put together. The tilte haiku and the one following it both explore my individuality. The first shows how I, unlike most people, love rain. Rain just seems to make everything better! The second is one of my favorites, and it captures my personality so well—no matterhow smart I am, or how many degrees I earn, I will still love heavy metal music! After those two are several haiku about my relationship with my boyfriend, Craig. This is by no means the end of my haiku journey. |

the honor student, |
|
your love revealed |
|
a wilted yellow tulip |
|
waiting where he works |
|
after the fight, |
|
hot summer night |
|
wearing a tiara |
|
the last of the blossoms |
