The Power of Haiku

Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry that consists of three lines, with five syllables in the first line, seven syllables in the second line, and five syllables in the third line. This strict structure forces poets to be concise and evocative, to capture the essence of a moment or experience in a few short words.

Thiessen's haiku are masterful examples of this form. He uses simple language and vivid imagery to create poems that are both accessible and profound. His haiku are like tiny windows into the world, offering readers a glimpse of the beauty, wonder, and diversity of our planet.

Exploring the World Through Haiku

Travel Haiku is divided into four sections, each of which explores a different aspect of travel. The first section, "Cityscapes," captures the energy and excitement of urban environments. The second section, "Nature's Embrace," celebrates the beauty and tranquility of the natural world. The third section, "Cultural Encounters," explores the diversity of human cultures and traditions. And the fourth section, "Reflections on the Road," offers a thoughtful and introspective look at the experience of travel itself.

Thiessen's poems take readers on a journey around the world, from the bustling streets of Tokyo to the serene temples of Kyoto, from the rugged mountains of the Canadian Rockies to the sun-kissed beaches of the Caribbean. Along the way, he encounters a variety of people and cultures, each with its own unique story to tell.

A Unique Perspective on Travel

Travel Haiku is not just a collection of poems; it is an invitation to see the world in a new light. Through his haiku, Thiessen shows us that travel is not just about visiting new places; it is about experiencing the world with all of our senses, and about learning and growing from our encounters with different cultures and perspectives.

Whether you are an experienced traveler or armchair adventurer, Travel Haiku is a book that will inspire and delight you. Thiessen's haiku are a reminder that the world is a vast and beautiful place, and that there is always something new to discover.
