Quick and Dirty Book Review Haiku #1
I’ve been wanting to break into writing poetry, but I must say that it intimidates the hell out of me. So I’ve decided to start simple…with haiku. To make sure I practice, all book reviews for the near future will be in Haiku form. If all goes well, I may move into another form of […]
