Obviously these are not traditional Japanese Haiku, so please don’t write me long comments about how I’m butchering a centuries old poetry tradition and offending the Japanese. It’s not my intention to do the latter and I’m more than confident that I’m accomplishing the former. Apparently, I’m really bad at counting syllables and Haiku is actually a lot harder than it sounds or looks. Thing is, I just happen to have read a lot and not reviewed and thought this would be a fun way of sharing the books I’ve been reading. Plus, Haiku and review rhyme and that should be reason enough.

Bravo! You worked peeing into a haiku, who cares if you stuck to the syllable count?
Well, I figured if I was going to butcher a centuries old poetry tradition I might as well go for gold. I was just glad nobody was around to see me clapping out syllables like a third grader.
