If you love short 17-syllable poems about nature and the sublime, this book is not for you. But if you enjoy dark humor and have an affinity for pirates, you need this book. This collection of over 400 poems delves into every aspect of what it means to be a pirate.
The book is divided into ten chapters, each with a different pirate theme. Inside, you will discover haiku about every part of pirate life.
The haiku in this book are funny, dark, and occasionally in bad taste. But they are never boring.
Author Jason McBride prides himself on being able to write haiku on just about any topic. In this first book of the Twisted Haiku Series, he takes the ancient Japanese poetry form and throws out the rulebook. Each haiku still has the familiar 5-7-5 syllable pattern, but these poems are anything but traditional.
If you want to read haiku about torture, gunpowder, the dangers of snoring on a pirate ship, and much more, you can now get Pirate Haiku for less than a cup of coffee.
