A Taste of Haiku
()
About this ebook
For over forty years, Dennis Herrell has been writing both serious and humorous poems about his life in this civilized society. He finds his poems by keeping his eyes and ears open and his mouth shut. Mostly. He really likes to write short funny poems that are like verbal snapshots or vignettes of some of the remarkable living creatures that share our world. In his five “Creatures” Ebooks”, Dennis has shared his poems about Underwater Dwellers, Insects, Birds, Cats & Dogs. and Other Creatures. In his sixth Ebook, “A Poetic Treatise about Vegetables”, he unleashed his sense of humor and cooked up a humorous mixture of poems about that other life form of veggies.
And now with his new Ebook, Dennis offers his readers a special kind of poetry, “A Taste of Haiku”.He especially likes haiku, with its 3-line, condensed view of nature and life, and has published over 150 haiku so far. Traditional Japanese haiku was originally (and for many decades) very strict with its structure and content, but now new forms and styles are very popular. The senryu variation follows the basic 5-7-5 structure, but also allows the involvement and comments of human nature in the short 3-line poem, sometimes in an ironic or satiric vein. Dennis hopes that his enjoyment of haiku comes across in a pleasurable way for you.
