Feed your soul in 10 words or fewer: why you need haiku in your life
Tuesday, August 12, 2025If you're anything like me a month ago, "haiku" is a form of poetry that comes from Japan, but is only really good for teaching kids about syllables and making memes. My perception completely changed when a friend told me he was really into haiku (indeed, he co-edits an online haiku publication). I was curious enough to start reading, and reading about, contemporary English-language haiku (henceforth just called haiku). I was hooked. This accessible form, both to read and write, offers a form of mindfulness and a break from our tech-mediated ways of seeing the world.
