Haiku Heaven 2023
Your World in 17 syllables
Posted by Martin Spence on Dec 7, 2023
We're writing a haiku every day for the whole of 2023. Why? At the end of the year we will be publishing a celebration of haiku in a hardback book for people to savour.
The haiku takes in the seasons, setting the haiku in a time-frame and then contrast this with "sharp or cutting" words to create a sense of awe or wonder.... the best haiku push boundaries, express a depth to the subject and elevate beyond the words themselves. The haiku presents the world in a concise manner, focussed on conveying an overall impression. Take a few minutes to reflect on the examples below.😃, the latest first....enjoy!
The haiku generate a feeling of goodwill and optimsim and can act as inspiration for your own business. The 7th wave platform is an ideal marketing vehicle, why not add it to your social media strategy and sign up to 7th Wave to jump start your new year.
