Haiku

The smallest of the world's literary forms, the brevity, precision and sensory directness of the haiku makes it perhaps the most popular poetry form on the Internet. Kynpham's haiku celebrates life in its many forms from wry (and sometimes simultaneously sad) vignettes of married life to asides on the process of ageing. Personal, yet universal, while being firmly rooted in the times we live in, the poems appreciate the little, neglected, 'irrelevant' things we routinely edit out of our busy lives as unimportant, what Wordsworth called 'seeing into the life of things'.
