Clear My Head

by
Grandville Shannon

After being in this class and reading haiku poets like Tom Lynch, my outlook on the way I think and look at certain things has changed. For example I now find myself looking deeper into what people say and write down. Also I find myself writing a lot of haiku to relieve some stress that I may be having for the time being and I guess that is a good thing. Furthermore when I first started to read and write haiku, I was a little guarded because I am a very private person but since I have started writing them I to have been able to open up and express myself.  Many of my thoughts and problems go into my haiku. It is a way for me to clear my head for the time being. Some people have food some have shopping I chose HAIKU.
