About The Book

<p>THE GREAT BIG BOOK OF HAIKU: 365 Haiku Poems is a poetry anthology for adult readers. It is a satire on adulthood in that the older we get the less we live life in the moment.</p><p><br></p><p>The design of this text is such that there are 365 poems one for every day of the year. Instead of writing a book of poems for children to read one each night at bedtime they are for adults to read one each morning of the year upon waking up. Setting a vision for your day you are now conscious of each moment you're participating in.</p><p><br></p><p>A haiku poem is based on a single moment in time and that's what gives it personality. This personality is what will inspire you to live more in the present.</p><p><br></p><p>The structure of a haiku poem is short only three lines containing 5 syllables then 7 and then 5 again. This addition and then subtraction</p><p>of an even number using a base of odd numbers also reflects the moral of this story in that balance is thought of as a binary but in life there are much more than only two sides.</p><p><br></p><p>Each poem was written by starting with a brainstorm on the most intense moment of the day. Every day for one year I wrote down the most intense moment or moments I had. Positive and negative. I scrapbooked each card</p><p>of moment(s) using keywords and images from magazines so that when I returned to them I would have a lot of inspiration.</p><p><br></p><p>Then the following year I turned them into haiku poems. This collection took more than two years to create because after that I had to type them all up edit them and secure the rest of the book's structure.</p><p><br></p><p>This anthology is my gift to every adult who seeks solace in the art of poetry.</p>
