Why Do I Write Haiku?: Short Micropoetry to Archive My Life, and a Way to Express My Experience (English Edition)

Haiku has become a big part of my life. It allows me to express thoughts and feelings without spending a lot of time trying to write it in a notebook. I can take a moment and write 17 syllables and move on with my life without taking half an hour to an hour trying to hand write a thought. In a haiku, I can write the first few words that come to my mind, a phrase or two to convey how I feel so I never forget the emotions I’m feeling, remember that moment in time.
