The Haiku Diary

The Haiku Diary

With five-seven-five,

An haiku every day

Keeps the gloom away

These days I am seeing haiku everywhere. Thanks to my dear aunty, I got a bit more acquainted to the genre. This is an interesting way to poetry. Short and straight to the essential. Playing as much with the words music as with its meaning. It gives a different way to express one’s mood…

This book is a project. My intention here is to try to add an haiku every day until the end of November. One haiku and some blurb… A diary entry of sort. I am not sure it will be in the pure haiku style. There is so much you can write about nature… But the idea is to try anyway.

I read somewhere – in multiple places in fact – that writing and writing is what has to be done to entertain the flow of a writer… whatever, write first and you will see what you do with it afterward…

Therefore, I am here, writing and trying to train my fingers and my brain. Practice makes it perfect. I doubt I will get perfect, but I do hope my writing will near the perfection one day… whenever it can happen.
