Review: This book
is a collection of 100 Haikus. Haikus are short poems -a culture of art from
Japan, 3 liners describing the depth of emotions briefly. In this book, there
is no particular theme on which these have been composed on. Themes vary from
philosophies of life, observations, love, emotions, nature and many more.
My Experience: It is the
first book on Haiku that I’ve picked up to read and believe me! all haikus are
super awesome. Haikus; 3 line poetic stories, indeed! This book did not
disappoint me in any way as I could get to read on variety of themes on moving
from one page to another. Reading each one is like treat to soul because of the
ways the words have been arranged so meaningfully. Haikus are not that easy to
compose because of constraints on word limit. Kudos to the author for blending
all emotions beautifully with limited words!
Here are some of my favourite Haikus
that I would like to mention:
the results you see,
when your thoughts are
your sources,
are thoughts turning to things.

Haiku are fun. They tend to become recurring habit once started.

Yes, I remember how addictive Haiku writing once became for me once( which led to the birth of world-to-words blog in word press). I'm a naive in field of Haiku writing . The rating of mine to your book is genuine one.. :)
