HAIKU Vol.5 is a collection of Haiku and motivational quotes by Noel Lorenz. Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry. I have tried to extract the sweetness of haiku in the 5th volume of this book and still stick to the short-long-short format. In my experience, the English and Japanese use the syllabic count differently. Whatever we write cannot be compared to the real count in Japanese 5-7-5.

In this book, I have taken haiku to another level by allowing the free count. This book follows the short-long-short verses format. I have tried my best to stick to all the other rules of haiku.

Come to haiku with an open mind and allow it to settle in.
