Haiku Flow

The Haiku Flow is where I express my thoughts and feeling using the Japanese form Haiku. In its most basic form, the haiku consists of three stanzas where the first and three stanzas usually contain five syllables with the second stanza containing seven syllables. Traditionally, the haiku has a seasonal theme - even if the haikus I write rarely follow this theme and can be said to be unconventional in this respect.

Children of Delight

Children off the light,

Borne of daughters in the night,

Children of delight.

Thank you for visiting Haiku Flow!

 

I hope you enjoy the haiku I share on  Haiku Flow which I enjoy writing. Having said that, I still put  my time and work into bringing you this site and other similar sites such as ZoneMind. So, it would be much appreciated if you could contribute to the upkeep of this site and others by getting a copy of an eBook from my Haiku Flow Series which contains a selection  of haiku you might enjoy at your leisure!

About Me

My photo
Gordon
I love blogging for the very same reason I love writing. It gives me the opportunity to express myself and my ideas to others. Yet, the great thing about blogs are their potential to reach out to people across the world. Blogging is also a means where I can explore thoughts and ideas, express my creativity and better examine who I am. As a disabled person, blogs are also tool to raise awareness about how society excludes us as disabled people through its failure to take us into account. Besides disability activism, I also enjoy creative writing and to read about a wide range of topics, ranging from science to philosophy which I also explore in my blogs.. I dream of a world that includes everyone, irrespective of our differences. A world where people have true equal rights and opportunities. A world where everyone is given the means to succeed and attain his/her full potential.
