International Haiku Poetry Day is on 17 April. This year it coincides with Easter Sunday. Haiku poetry is not rhymed and it consists of 3 lines of 17 syllables in total, with the lines having 5, 7, 5 syllables. We are celebrating by publishing one Haiku per day for the few days around International Haiku Poetry Day. Enjoy! And maybe have a go at writing your own….

The sea’s whitened chin,
shaved clean by the wings of a
cormorant barber.

Poet, singer, songwriter, actor - there's no beginning to my talents. Working constantly and live blissfully on the North East coast I’m a poet based in the North East of England and my poems have been published all over the place.
