    About this ebook

    Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry that is very short but each haiku creates a powerful image almost immediately. Most haiku celebrate nature in all of its aspects and inspire the reader to envision a world of beauty and wonder. One is always taken by surprise in the 17 syllalble poem.

    Author

    Joseph R. Sapone

    Joseph R. Sapone wrote the haiku to express his love of nature in all of the seasons, especially at Christmas time. Combining his love of nature with his Christian faith make his haiku very American in feeling. St. Frances was his favorite saint and was an inspiration for many of his haiku.
