Thanks Grant. Your July Haiku on Substack notes has inspired me to document my city (Mumbai) through photographs captioned with a Haiku. I am loving it so much. Here's to making sense of the world in 17 syllables!
Lovely work as always Grant! What you're creating can better be classified as Haiga, a now largely forgotten form where a painter makes a painting about a subject and writes a haiku on the same, upon the painting itself.
Love, love, love these - they’re brilliant! You express so much in so few syllables - it’s really awesome! (And I betcha Gavin wishes he could write!!) 🤔😉😅
Thanks again Grant for a wonderful post. I love reading and writing haiku. I am a poet and when I am stuck, i love the compressed form of the haiku to guide me!
Thank you Grant (from a train speeding through the English Lake District). I’m a writer- fiction and poetry. Wish I could draw. Really enjoying your haiku for July. Inspiring! 🌸

Yes! I found out about haiga when I made my first haikomics post :)
Brilliant, Grant!
I love to write and teach haiku/senryu.
Haiku are about nature, but senryu focus on human foibles.
Delighted that you are sharing your process.
Take care,
Casey
Thanks Casey! I shared a senryu in yesterday's Notes, a fun form for a future month.
I love this series. Thank you.

Ha, thanks! He writes songs, but I haven't been able to convince him to get in the kid's book/poetry game :)
Definitely not just for kids!!
Really inspiring! Thank you for reminding me of the joy of writing Haiku, maybe I’ll try to write some on my holidays 😎

Really beautiful!
Thank you for sharing :) You've inspired me to do Haiku July during my morning pages! Today's entry:
endless sleepless nights
yet summer's morning wakes me
her light brings me hope
Glad to hear that! I've experienced those early summer mornings, thanks for sharing the poem.
Dear Grant, great haikus!
Thank you for your art always!
Love, a Myq Haiku
“Stars skimming the earth” is just one of many unique poetic insights your haiku reveal.
Love them all, but the thunderstorm one resonates the most with me!
Thank you, Margreet!
Love all of these … inspiration for an activity for my weekly writing group. 💖
Glad it's an inspiration!

Thank you! Wish I could be in the Lake District writing poetry!
Grant, I loaned Thinking to my pastor. he lives it so much he's got it captive in his office
Nice! I like the connection, I'm the grandson of a Methodist pastor. :)
