Sunday Morning Sunday morning is a time of relaxation and reflection. Rather you spend it in worship, at the lake, or sunggling in bed, it is a time when the worries of the work week are still far enough away to let them slip your mind. Haiku started out as a challenge for me. I am used to writing longer pieces of poetry, and novel-length pieces of prose. Then I realized something about haiku . . . each and every haiku has a complete story to tell. It is the ultimate short story. The haiku allows you to experiment with word choice that is now so utterly important while it gently coaxes you to see things in a new way. This is a selection of haiku I wrote for Haiku Writing Roundtable at Millikin University, Fall 2001. Enjoy! —Brock Peoples
