Entering the Stream

Entering The Stream is a collection of over 230 modern poems in the traditional Japanese haiku style ~ seventeen syllables written within three lines ~ catching emotions, thoughts, and moments in time. My inspiration flowed beyond the themes of seasons and nature to a form called senryu ~ light, humorous, and sometimes emotional poems of modern life, relationships, and spirit.

* Also available in a trade paperback from Blurb.com.

Influenced by time spent in Japan and the animism of Shinto, chapters include seasons & nature, animals, friendships, relationships, life, family, transitions, spirit, and a temple walk series. I welcome your comments at jetblack@nucleus.com.
