S8E24 Haiku to kick back to

Poetry Pea - haiku and other English Language Japanese short forms

Do you ever feel like there’s just not enough time for you?

I’m in one of those seasons. When I sat down to plan this week’s episode, I thought I’d explore the poetry of Chiyo-ni — and oh, the rabbit holes I found! That’s going to take more time. But today, I just needed a slower pace… and maybe you do too.

So, I offer you something gentler:

✨ a jazz-infused session of haiku and senryū,

✨ poems to breathe with,

✨ words that settle the heart.

You’ll hear work from Lenard D. Moore, Stanford M. Forrester, Jennifer Gurney, Debbie Strange, Lakshmi Iyer, and many more — including the unforgettable lines of Chiyo-ni herself.

🎙️ This episode isn’t a workshop or deep dive — it’s a quiet conversation with the poems I’ve been holding close lately. Think of it as late-night jazz… in haiku form.
