    About this ebook

    This book of haiku is a collection of haiku I wrote mostly in college when I found myself bored in classes. There are over 200 of them in my collection and they run a gamut of different topics. Although haiku are usually associated with nature, I wanted to use this simple poetic form to take a look at more serious and deeper topics so in a way this is a book of haiku for adults.

    David Barbour

    David Barbour attended the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill where he majored in political science and English.  While there, he dabbled in writing short stories, plays, and haiku, but it is his haiku he is most proud of and his haiku he wants to share with the world.

      Letters to Mum

      Mar 24, 2021

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      Being an adult is… Crazy. What are you worried about currently? I’m worried the WGA [Writers Guild of America] will have to strike for longer than is sustainable for individuals. But they will win so I’m really not ‘worried’ at all. If someone could

      Looking back is beautiful. As queer people, we especially deserve reflection. We exist in a world where we see queerness celebrated, but also demonised. Where who you love, how you identify, who you are at your core can be a death sentence. Our journ

      Being an adult is… Never being an adult. Life is serious enough without being serious. I’ll be 50 next year and if I ever become an adult, smack me over the head. If someone could reveal what your 2024 will involve, would you want to know what would

      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
