Haiku Nation

Haiku Nation. Haiku World.

Haiku Nation is a breathtaking collection of stunning images and observations of the beautiful Devon countryside and beyond as the seasons change, all captured and written in haiku and senryu verse by the contemporary English poet P.J. Reed. 

the august sorrows

crumbling cream rose petals fall

stolen by the breeze

dragonfly flutters

wings of finest cobweb silk

seen we walk away

I am loneliness

the kind moon watches and sends

me a shadow friend

'The Haiku style of poetry within this volume is truly mesmerising. I opened the first page not knowing what to expect and my experience of reading this collection can only be described as bringing an alien in from the cold. The collection has personally inspired me to explore this sub genre of poetry,' DR.

'The poems of Haiku Nation offer an intoxicating insight into the ethereal world of haiku...Highly recommended for haiku poetry lovers and for readers in general. A very enjoyable and warm book. Even the dark pieces of work trigger strong emotions. A follow-up volume would be most welcome. Spread the word, P.J. Reed is the haiku poet to read. A contemporary of Vanessa Daou,' Nick Armbrister.
