Love is the most complicated and yet the simplest of emotions. Haiku poetry, with its clarity and poignancy, is able to wonderfully capture the different moods of this intensely human condition. Arranged in accordance with the natural unfolding of a relationship, these evocative poems contain at their essence a heartfelt moment of love. From the heady first flush of romance, to growing familiarity, and finally the ultimate serenity of deep and enduring devotion, each haiku encapsulates the spirit of true love.
