Thanks for the adding me!! I started writing my haiku after hearing someone read it. It was the most deadpan and wholly American thing I'd ever heard. My lens is strict 17 syllable haiku, but the subject matter is more American - It's detached, it's self-aware, and it's growing. Thanks. Ker-splash!!

I became interested in reading HAIKU about 4 years ago. That lead to studying haiku and after about a year, I began to write my own. I'm a published author of Haiku, Short Stories, Poetry and Prose. I've just finished writing my 3rd book of Haiku titled, "Front Porch Haiku".

I'll start off the introductions. I've been writing haiku for many years and have a blog on MySpace called Northern Ruminations. I post haiku, senryu, tanka and other forms of poetry. One of the things I enjoy most about blogging is the interaction I often have with other poets.
