The Princess Collection by Heather Senger I have entitled my first collection of haiku The Princess Collection for several reasons. The first reason is most of my haiku are written with my daughter in mind, she is a little princess. I also am very girly and princess like, so the title fits my personality. These haiku are mostly about family and children. This is what I enjoy writing about most. These haiku should appeal to your senses and let you fill in the story. Haiku is all about starting in the middle and leaving an open ending to let the reader imagine their own scenario. Most of the haiku are set in a season or place to give the reader a good sense of the atmosphere. I have enjoyed writing these haiku and I hope they will be read again and again and shared with others. I plan to continue to write more haiku after The Princess Collection.

an exciting night out wearing a pearl bracelet from her father

midnight thunder she call for daddy through the bedroom door

hot summer day best friends giggle through the sprinkler

hot summer day children holding hands jump in the pool

The Office sunny spring day stuck in the office she gazes out the window papers piles high no work done today cherry blossoms everywhere fragrance on the air everlasting sunlight children run children play a humid summer day the children laugh and giggle through the streets a sudden thunderstorm no more laughs and giggles by Heather Senger and Rick Cox
