the stargazing frog
The Stargazing Frog πΈ is a collection of original haiku and other 3-liners in the style of Japanese poetry, that points to us the significance of the “little” β moments, the moments that deep down really matter the most.
The first snowflake at Winter β, a grasshopper’s π¦ hope for sun at Spring, a butterfly’s π¦wild dream at Summer, the first petal to fall π₯at Autumn.
A classic form of poetry with an American flair that easily bests the Instagram poetry fad. Small poems with big pictures.
Overall I enjoyed reading these verses and I think other haiku enthusiasts will, too. Bravo to the writer for putting this collection together and publishing it.

the stargazing frog
The stargazing frog is each and every one of us. We are just tiny observers in a large life and in a vast universe π«, given with a choice: we can either be overwhelmed and paralysed by the burdens and magnitude of life.
Or we can accept life’s hardships as a fact and try to turn them into something beautiful and meaningful. Poetry just shows us the way towards the stars π.
infinite love π
in the four dimensions
of our two lips
Beginning on the first day of Winter, with the winter solstice on 22 December 2019, and ending on the last day of Autumn, on 21 December 2020, the Stargazing Frog πΈ offers 366 original haiku poems on a variety of themes.
Every day, you can read, enjoy, contemplate or share a haiku about: Nature or humans, rural or urban environment, life or death, impermanence or eternity, humour or irony, love or hate, annoyance or peace of mind.

While in Japanese poetry π a haiku strictly follows the pattern of 5-7-5 phonetic units, the poems of this book follow only one rule. For each poem, first and third lines have the same number of syllables, not necessarily five though, while the second line has two more.
That way the overall rhythm of a haiku is preserved without adhering blindly πΆ to a form that has little meaning in the English language.
