Lindsay Scully RanDomNess Kasen Renga Haiku Author Essay: Contrasts in the Haiku of Bernard Lionel Einbond

Untitled by Lindsay Scully My collection of haiku focuses on one thing: my life. I write from experience. the happy, the sad, the old & familiar, the new & exciting--all of these shape the person I am today. For me, writing haiku is therapeutic. I can express myself without worrying about judgement. Since I am still transforming into the person I am going to be, I decided to leave my collection untitled. Since my collection does not have one unifying theme, I also think leaving it untitled is appropriate. I am enjoying the journey—I hope you enjoy the colletion.

summer rain warm hearts in this sea of blankets

back porch young girls' laughter amidst the falling rain

he paces outside her door long-stemmed roses

in the pumpkin patch an "i love you" makes me blush

sandy feet rock this front porch swing orange to purple sky
