The following are four original haikus I’ve selected to share from my writing. The Japanese aesthetic has always fascinated me. The elegance and simplicity of their writing style has had an impact on me as a writer, which is why I’ve chosen to experiment with the most quintessential of all Japanese literary styles, the haiku.
From the glass bottle
The fairy emerges new
She is a bright star
The monster, it stalks
Waiting to devour
It hides from its prey
The wizard knows much
But he chooses not to say
What it is he knows
I am an author
I have lived my life in truth
I have no regrets
The way of the sword
Can only lead to violence
When there is no sheath
