    About this ebook

    Haikus are one of my favorite forms of poetry. I've combined a bunch that I have written over the years into a book. Please enjoy over 100 haikus!The Big Book of Haikus


    This is the last book in the series and one of the best in my opinion. Many of these haikus I've submitted and posted to my blog and gotten really good feedback. I hope you all enjoy.
