Dear Whispers’
Readers,
Haiku is one of the
most widely published forms in the world, yet there lingers so many
misconceptions and misinformation. It is
especially sad when teachers share inaccuracies with young writers. I am still in the learning stages of this
form after several years of studying. It
is my hope that through all the talented haiku artists publishing haiku at Whispers,
writers will see the depth of these concise poems. The poems below are from gifted haiku
poets.
In the months ahead, I
plan to feature more poetry from our talented contributors, keeping these
columns short enough to be read. Thank
you for all your encouragement as we continue our writing journey.
Blessings,
Karen O’Leary
