The Haiku Companion is an extensive collection of verses written in the traditional Japanese style of haiku - three lines of five, seven and five syllables. It is a compilation of feelings, experiences and philosophical comments that speak to us about the fabric of life - the struggle, bliss, sorrow, beauty, pain, whimsy, complexity and simplicity of living on this planet. Wander through the pages... without hurry... to connect with those verses that resonate with your own experience and let others transport you to new experiences in your heart and mind.
