Considerations by Way of Haiku

By Dennis Herrell

For over forty years, Dennis Herrell has been writing both serious and humorous poems about his life in this civilized society.. He really likes to write short poems that are like verbal snapshots or vignettes of the world he lives in. With his new Ebook, Dennis offers his readers a more general sampling of traditional and modern haiku with “Considerations by Way of Haiku”. He especially likes haiku, with its 3-line, condensed view of nature and life, and has published over 150 haiku so far. Traditional Japanese haiku was originally (and for many decades) very strict with its structure and content, but now new forms and styles are very popular. The senryu variation follows the basic 5-7-5 structure, but also allows the involvement and comments of human nature in the short 3-line poem, sometimes in an ironic or satiric vein. Dennis hopes that his enjoyment of haiku comes across in a pleasurable way for you.
