About this Book:

Ruth Nott’s “Haiku for Lovers” is dedicated “to love’s idea - to love, the experience - to love unending”. Come take a journey into reality, into life in seventeen syllables. See how love begins, grows, and changes over time. Haiku was the beginning, a three-line poem with syllable counts of 5, 7, 5, no rhyme and no particular metre, with a reference to the seasons of the year, which is considered obligatory in Japan. Then it evolved in to haikai (linked haiku), senryu (haiku without a seasonal reference, dealing with human nature), and other various forms with various differences. The dividing lines can become blurred, and Ruth’s lines may better be described as senryu’ however, she prefers the use of the more recognizable term of haiku for her title. Delving into love from its earliest playful beginnings to its passionate consummation, through losses from death to betrayal, Ruth shows that, in the end, love is enduring even if only in memory.
