A collection of Modern English Haiku by Poet Jason Pere. The piece encompasses a large variety of subjects that hold a personal significance to the author ranging from Adoption, Depression, Fear, and Weaponry to Hope, Originality and Utopia. Largely autobiographical, the poet composes four Haiku for each letter of the alphabet and shares a small glimpse of insight into his personal opinion and life experiences on each of the four subjects of that letter. A reflection of near three decades of life shrouded in one of the most elegant and mysterious art forms within the poetic medium. The musings of a lone Warrior and his journey through life as a unique spirit, entrancing thinker and old world soul. It's content a double edge blade to provoke and attack as well as inspire and defend. The reader is invited to take a glimpse into the workings of a contemplative and introspective mind. Follow the one of a kind telling of a life story in a fashion that is striking and personal yet evasive and non specific. Cherish the opportunity to embrace or at least consider a different perspective on life and the world of today. A wake up call and potent reminder that life is about more than a finite number of breaths and the ticking hands of the clock. Experience the full range of human emotion form arrogance to humility, form rage to compassion, all presented in an art form precise and disciplined as well as raw and interruptive. The poet Jason Pere stands up and bears his mind for all to see and makes the contents of his heart known. War Rages Within Winter's Bonds of Flesh and Fear Warrior Poet
