Every moment has a story. Haiku simply chooses not to tell it all.

In just seventeen syllables, a haiku captures what entire pages often cannot: the hush of falling blossoms, the solitude of rain, the stillness of dawn, the passage of seasons, and the emotions that linger long after words have ended.

5-7-5: Measuring Poetry in Syllables is a collection of original haiku that celebrates the extraordinary hidden within the ordinary. Each poem is paired with evocative artwork, inviting readers to pause, reflect, and discover beauty in life's fleeting moments.

Whether you are new to haiku or a lifelong admirer of its timeless elegance, this book offers a quiet refuge from a noisy world—one page, one image, one moment at a time.

Slow down. Observe. Breathe.

Sometimes, seventeen syllables are all it takes.
