Welcome to The Gumshoe Haiku Online Collection of Haiku Poems
After years of writing Haiku, I realized I'd better start keeping track of them in a single place.
I truly enjoy the simplicity of the genre, especially when life can be so complicated. Most of these simply come to me in moments of reflection. If the words don't float by like clouds in my view, I do not waste too much time searching for them. If you are not familiar with the Haiku poetry form, I've put a link somewhere over there on the right side of the page so you can get a bit more information. The only true rule I follow is the 5-7-5 syllabic structure. I tend to not worry about using a season word or cutting word as do the true Japanese Haiku.
I am a private detective (thus the word "gumshoe" in the title), a martial arts instructor and student, wife and mom. Those are definitely not listed in order of importance.
If you're nosy or curious, you can read more about me in detail in the "about me" section to the right. Otherwise, read on. Enjoy. Feel free to leave comments. Above all: relax.
