A Year in Haiku: 365 poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798248195435)

365 poems. One for each day of the year.

A Year in Haiku is a daily record of moments that find the extraordinary within the ordinary. Moving through a full calendar year, this book is a personal chronicle of the human experience.

Alongside the arrival of autumn winds and winter frosts, these haikus capture the "fleeting internal thoughts" that define our lives: the weight of unspoken words, the nostalgia of a childhood treasure, and the simple joy of shared laughter.

But life does not always stay in the light. These verses do not shy away from the quiet shadows of the year, touching on poignant moments of loneliness, the "sharp, quiet ache" of a missed connection, and the melancholy of an empty house.

Following the classic 5-7-5 structure, each poem serves as a seventeen-syllable snapshot of a specific day. You may choose to read one poem each day as a quiet morning ritual to ground yourself before the world gets too loud, or perhaps as a final reflection before bedtime to settle your thoughts in the hush of the evening.

This collection is an invitation to slow down and practice the art of noticing every shade of the human journey.
