Haiku Princess

Original haiku plus vintage images = "Haiku Princess."

Traditional haiku - at least the most interesting of the genre - includes the "volta," or "turn," a rhetorical shift or dramatic change in thought or emotion. Pairing modern, slantwise thoughts with Victorian images, "Haiku Princess" expands on the idea of the "volta" of a poem to include a visual layer... because it just seemed right.

Treat yourself to the luxury of modern poems, paired with Victorian illustrations, conveniently ordered from least-to-most profane (as interpreted by the author). Written by a Haiku Deathmatch Champion, these poems and images have been specially selected not to bore you, and perhaps make you wise.
