Welcome to my journey through poetry and reflection
Exploring Life Through Haiku and Commentary
For decades, I’ve used poetry and prose to reflect on our world – from the squatter settlements of Hong Kong to the bayous of Louisiana. My haiku poems explore spirituality, environmental concerns, and social justice, while my commentary examines the complexities of human rights and dignity in our modern world.

About Vic Hummert
My journey has taken me from the crowded streets of Hong Kong in the 1970s to the vibrant community of Lafayette, Louisiana. Throughout my life, I’ve been dedicated to social justice, environmental advocacy, and finding spiritual meaning in our interconnected world.
The haiku format has become my preferred medium for distilling complex thoughts into moments of clarity. Each numbered poem represents a milestone in my ongoing exploration of what it means to live with compassion and awareness in today’s world.
My written reflections and commentary draw from decades of firsthand experience with communities around the world, seeking to illuminate the connections between social structures, environmental concerns, and our shared humanity.
