True tranquillity
hiding underneath creased sheets
unknowable blue
Mark already offered a haiku for our music challenge a few months ago, and today he published Deep Blue: Haiku About The Sea, a great little book exploring the Earth’s oceans using haiku poetry. This is a beautiful collection which took me 30 mins to finish, but requires multiple reads to fully appreciate its variety.
