Author Description

Haiku is a very simple structure for telling a story. The most common form of haiku has three lines with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second and five in the third. Precisely seventeen syllables in each verse. No iambic pentameter to be concerned with, just a simple structure that demands a lot of thought!Through Haiku, Structured Thoughts and Memories explores the well-lived and diverse life of Dick Shultz. With a humorous and playful tone at times, but always with thoughtful attention, these poems explore many topics such as family, cycling, trips, chance encounters and musings.
