Haiku from the Heart
WHAT IS Haiku from the Heart ?
Haiku from the heart is exactly what the phrase implies: poetry dealing with heartfelt emotions and poignant experiences. Because of its ability to get straight to the point, haiku can be used to express a vast variety of thoughts, observations and feelings. It can be used therapeutically, i.e., as an outlet to vent negative emotions or as a medium to commemorate positive experiences.
For example, to express anger, a person might write:
i'm totally pissed
because my father always
yells when he is drunk
On the other hand, perhaps the person wants to express or capture a joyful moment or experience:
i'm feeling happy
because my father reached out
and said he loves me
