I have been extremely fortunate to be allowed to work with the Haiku Foundation on an interesting project.  As you might know I have been exploring haiku.  It is a fascinating art form, one that I have admired for some time.

I would imagine that many other writers who are probably in a similar position – they want to learn about haiku, but don’t know how to proceed.  There is only so much that one can get from a book or an online article.

Last Friday, we debuted a new article series called: Quicksilver HG1.  The idea being that I’ll document my journey into learning haiku and invite others to comment.

The first article is called “New to Haiku” and can be seen here:

The comments are fascinating to read.  Amazingly insightful and helpful to me.  If you are interested in haiku, you’ll love reading the advice of some of the English Language Haiku experts.  Many have written in, giving me encouragement and successful actions that have served them well.

I invite you to add your voice and post a comment.  Share with me your ideas of haiku and feel free to critique my poems.  I’d love to hear your feedback!
