Haiku is an interesting form of poetry. Short and sweet. The essence of the moment. Nothing extra. Just right for a young Zen student.

Modern Haiku is a small press magazine dedicated to, as the title says – modern haiku. Here is a sample, which is available via Modern Haiku’s published book She Was Just Seventeen by Billy Collins.

Mid-winter evening,
alone at a sushi bar—
just me and this eel.
