Welcome to Litsy!

Meticulously orders its collection of famous-author haikus by subject matter etc., so that they flow into each other instead of using the usual date/author order you see in anthologies. Very nice effect but it does strip away the any authorial or historical context.

Also includes some artwork.

The translations were good English poetry. Been borrowing library ebooks - first one where I'll buy it if I see it at a used book store.

This poem is great! 😆👏🏻 #LitsyHumor

@Pamwurtzler tagged me for a #winterhaiku so here is my best shot. 😏

I was tagged by @emily_m_tubb to write a #WinterHaiku. It‘s surprisingly fun to do! @TheLondonBookworm have you tried one yet?

@Andrea4 tagged me to write some #WinterHaiku and I had a blast as always. Thanks!

@AmyG

Heating is kaput
It's cold outside and snowing
Please don't let me freeze

#winterhaiku

My personal heater has returned to her preferred sleeping position. #catsoflitsy #whoneedsahotwaterbottle

Thanks for the tag @kspenmoll here is my haiku.
I tag @emily_m_tubb and anyone else who wants to do one.

Gifts under the tree
Hours to buy and wrap them all
Seconds to open

#holidayhaiku

I was remembering the halloween haikus and decided to write a #holidayhaiku - feel free to play along if you want!

Dusk falls earlier
Multicoloured lights combat/
Welcome the solstice

@BookHoarder32 tagged me to post a #HalloweenHaiku I haven‘t written a haiku since 12th grade (which was longer ago than I care to think about) so this was my best shot. 😜🎃🎃🎃

I‘m leaving this as an open tag to anyone who sees this and wants to play along. And feel free to tag me if you do so I can see your haiku as well! 😊🍁🎃🍂

I was tagged by @Natasha.C.Barnes for #halloweenhaiku. Here is my poor attempt. I will tag @Kalalalatja if you haven‘t already participated, give it a go.

Thanks for the tag @Natasha.C.Barnes #HalloweenHaiku

I don't have a costume this year; and probably won't be going out... but that won't stop me from dressing up Totem and Oscar. Together they share the following costumes: shark, hot dog, death Vader, triceratops, and a reindeer costume. I think I'm forgetting one... ☺️ I tag @weebzx @Andrea4 @Jen_Reads @TricksyTails

#halloweengoespostal and #allhallowsreadbookexchange are the main things I'm looking forward to this Halloween--but one of my packages is currently stuck at a friend's house 5 hours away from me! 😱 Doubtful I'll get to open it on Tuesday. 😭😭
But don't worry, it was sent and received.

Thanks for the tag @MrBook ! I'll tag @Clwojick @Suelizbeth and @RestlessFickleBookSlut if you haven't done it already! Or anyone else! #halloweenhaiku

I was tagged by @MrBook so here goes (I suck at these!) #halloweenhaiku

I‘m at an Infectious Disease conference so here‘s my #HalloweenHaiku thanks for the tag @JulieAnn

#HalloweenHaiku. @Simona tagged me so I‘ll try it! Not so good at this stuff. I‘ll invite and tag @SilversReviews and @Dragon and @MyNamesParadise. Forgive me for the awfulness that is about to ensue!

@Moray_Reads tagged me for @TobeyTheScavengerMonk 's #HalloweenHaiku.

This should make the blood freeze in your veins. 😂

Clearly, the best thing to do right before you go to sleep, is to come up with a #HalloweenHaiku. Did I mention I'm home alone as well? But thanks for the challenge @TobeyTheScavengerMonk 👏👻

If you want to make your own scary Haiku, go ahead (just keep the lights on)

My #halloweenhaiku (my first ever haiku, so forgive me if it's terrible).

The veil is thinner
Demons come to dance with me
And drink pumpkin spice

Wellworn paperback
In the breeze, pages turning
Magic trapped inside.

Got bored, started fiddling with haikus xD
#BookHaiku

Glad I checked out two haiku books from the #library bc I really enjoyed this one. Makes me want to read more #poetry in general. #librarybook #librarybooks #readharderchallenge #haiku #haikus #translation

I want to touch it/prickly desert sentinel/saguaro cactus 🌵🌵🌵When reading a book of haikus, it's impossible not to start making up your own in your head. 😆 #poetry #haiku #haikus #readharderchallenge
