The Constitutional Blues: Haiku That Will Take You on a Journey Through 21st Century Politics...

Join us on a journey through 21st Century politics... We love the traditional Japanese haiku format of 17 syllables on 3 lines: 5-7-5. It is very symmetrical terse and disciplined. However these are not your great grandfathers haiku. This is Modern American Haiku. We do keep the fundamental format but thats all. For one thing we give them titles which we believe helps the reader focus on the punch in each haiku. Second there is word play. Third there is the extra dimension of the images in which the haiku are embedded or by which they are framed. We believe the reader will be amazed at how well the illustrations deepen the haiku.
