Haiku

This is the first book of Haiku by a simple zen practitioner, Noel Lorenz. Haiku is an ancient Japanese form of unrhymed poetry which is mostly popular for its small size. It consists of only three lines capturing the essence of the moment pictured in it, where crafty juxtaposition plays its role. It has 17 syllables in total, spread in 5-7-5 across three lines. The author of this book has been practicing Japanese Zen meditation for several years. He has already published four books and a few more books are in the pipeline for 2020.
