My haiku book is finally here! It's been 12 years since I started writing haiku poems. What started as a challenge became a passion so deep that I incorporated them into my poetry workshops and have even done more than a dozen workshops that were only haiku poetry based. I love it and people of all ages do also. The traditionally Japanese art form has transcended to become a global sensation. People from all over the world now practice the 5-7-5 format in dozens of different languages. Sit back and enjoy. And now I challenge you to come up with a few of your own.
