Some Haiku Before Breakfast …
December 11th, 2014 by jules
“I love the fact that a haiku is designed to capture a moment in time. It allows the reader, and the writer, to savor that moment.
These days, we are bombarded with so much information that sometimes we forget to stop and appreciate the little things.
I also love the challenge of presenting these small moments in just seventeen syllables, with a little twist to make them memorable.”
Today over at Kirkus, I chat with children’s book author and poet Bob Raczka, pictured above, about writing poetry for children; Santa Clauses: Short Poems from the North Pole, his beautiful new picture book, illustrated by Chuck Groenink; and what’s next on his plate.
That link is here, and next week I’ll have some art from the book here at 7-Imp.

So happy to see you feature this book. I think it’s a wonderful addition to the holiday cannon.
I really like it, Rebecca. I look forward to sharing art from it here at 7-Imp next week.
