This is my Haiku poem site. I have found writing a Haiku poem each day to be helpful. It a therapy and helps to focus my mind providing a sense of continued progress to my life. A Haiku poem everyday to keep stagnant thinking away.
The words, poems, photographs and pictures are all my own work and if you would like to use any please contact me and ask. Email igl@haikubook..co.uk (remove the extra dot).
The reason for this website blog, is simple, it is just a way for me to express myself and share my Haiku poem everyday. I know that children learn Haiku Poems in school as a simple form of poetry, and that is what I like about it. More though trying to find that balance and contra point and using the senses as much as possible.
I hope to release a number of books, if there is time for that. At the moment it is a good discipline for me to write at least one Haiku poem each day.
The sketches are ball-point sketches that I sometimes colour with colouring pencils, photograph them with my mobile, and format with different effects.
I introduced some rough sketches into the site and now have supplemented these with photographs. I want to improve these and make them more amusing.
Photographs are those I take daily as I am constantly on the lookout for those shots, whether using my mobile or my camera. I will
There will be a number of key topic areas that the Haiku poems will centre around and this is far from a complete list.
TOPICS
- Personal writing and thoughts
- Transport, buses, trains and underground
- People and places
- Buildings, streets, nature in the city and city-scapes.
- Autumn, Summer, Spring, and Winter
- Work, Stress and Coffee.
- Brexit (I wasn’t going to but it has turned out the be fun)
- Football and sports
- Music and videos
- Art, Books, cartoons and photographs
- International politics (Mostly USA)

- Words of Wisdom
- Postmans Park
- Stories and themed
It is a starting list, it is growing, and I hope it will attract and keep some interesting and supportive people.
Each and every day I will add at least one new Haiku poem and maybe some thoughts around that. I think it will be good to update the blog from time to time adding rewording of a Haiku poem, providing a general update or providing input from someone else.
At the moment all the Haiku poems are the work of Ian G. Lloyd (IGL) aka Pontvert, though if others contribute they will be noted along with their contribution.
