Each day may be completely unique!

            At the end of this book is a little bit of background on haiku poetry, along with a story about the inspiration for this book. You can hop to the back if you are curious now or wait until the end of your Haiku Journey to learn about the origins of these creations. The choice is yours. Enjoy!

Sample chapter:

Doodles

         Experiment with reading the poems in this section and draw some doodles which represent the poem. Have fun and don’t worry about what the sketches look like. For example, here is a poem which could be matched with a simple sunrise doodle, as a representation of beginning anew. If another doddle idea comes to you, feel free to sketch that. There are no right or wrong responses, only possibilities to explore!
