A Haiku Blog
Because Poetry Should Be Part of Life
Welcome to this independent poetry blog, where I write short poem in a modern haiku style almost every day.
I started the blog originally so that when people asked me what I did at parties, instead of talking about my job - I could say “I’m a poet” without being dishonest.
