A couple of months ago, Judey Kalchik dared Vocal creators to write book reviews in the form of haiku. She called it the #BookReviewHaiku Challenge.

I was hooked from the get-go! So, when Vocal ran its Critique Challenge, I decided to do things differently from other writers, by including a haiku in each of my entries.

I highly doubt I will place in the challenge, but I had tons of fun writing those pieces. So much, in fact, that I want to do an entire series of haiku inspired by my favorite works of art-books, paintings, movies, poems, songs, etc. I have tons of ideas!

In the meantime, let me share all the haiku I crafted for Judey’s and Vocal’s challenges. Each review is linked at the end.

Haiku 1

Morning breeze:
just flying with all his might —
Jonathan’s shadow.
