A Haiku Cleanse

Refreshing a writer’s brain

A haiku can cleanse An overworked writing brain To start anew again

Haikus don’t overwork writers. I think of haikus as being similar to palate cleansers used between courses of fine foods or at wine tastings.

We can use haikus as we start a new writing day or week. These short poems help when it’s time to switch between writing projects.

I don’t think I’m the only person who can use a word and thought cleanser between writing about our pets and then the Crimean War, for example.

Try it sometime. See if you like it.
