Haiku Collection

Welcome to my collection of haiku poetry. Through these numbered verses, I’ve explored the traditional Japanese form while infusing it with my own experiences and perspectives.

While haiku traditionally celebrates nature’s beauty, I’ve chosen to stretch its boundaries. My poems touch on spiritual connection, environmental urgency, peace activism, and cultural observations that matter deeply to me. The classic 5-7-5 syllable structure becomes my canvas for expressing thoughts on everything from citizenship and war to kindness toward all sentient beings.

Each numbered haiku represents a moment of clarity in my journey—sometimes orthodox, sometimes breaking convention—but always an authentic expression of my voice and lifetime of experiences.

I invite you to browse through these brief yet meaningful reflections. Perhaps they’ll inspire conversation, contemplation, or even your own haiku practice.

Thank you for visiting.
