Welcome to Haiku Diem, where I've been posting one new haiku every day since July 9th, 2010!

You can read the most recent eight days' worth in the panel to the right, and see them all through the Facebook, Twitter, or Google+ links below.

You can receive each day's haiku by "liking" the Facebook page, following the Twitter feed, adding the Google+ page to your circles, or subscribing to the RSS feed.

Note: In the first year of Haiku Diem, I followed the popular 5-7-5 form for my haiku. (Five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third.) For Year Two, I've switched to 3-5-3.

About me

I make my living as a software engineer, and live by writing. In addition to these daily haiku, I've completed a couple of YA novels that I'm currently shopping around to publishers, and am the creator of a collaborative storytelling game. You can read more about all this and more at www.FreemanNg.net.

The Best of Year One

A book of the best haiku from the first year of Haiku Diem.

day 6805-18-2012
 closeted
 shirts pressed up against
 their shadows
day 6795-17-2012
 barking dog’s
 nightlong insistence
 unanswered
day 6785-16-2012
 on the bench
 next to the old man
 a beetle
day 6775-15-2012
 rippling stream
 the sound of nothing
 on the move
day 6765-14-2012
 distinct sound
 of the jackhammer’s
 silences
day 6755-13-2012
 graying head
 bowed in lone moment
 my mother
day 6745-12-2012
 graveyard dusk
 stone edges worn down
 like daylight
day 6735-11-2012
 a stiff breeze
 crown of the maple
 shimmering
