Haikus about food written by Texans,
By Charles Ashbacher (Marion, Iowa United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Haiku-Sine : 217 Tiny Food Poems by Texans Who Love to Eat & Feed Their Heads (Paperback)
I am an avid fan of haikus; the form of Japanese prose based on the 5 - 7 - 5-syllable format. With so few words to use, the best ones are based on wordplay and subtle distinctions between meanings. This book is a collection of haikus based on food loved and eaten by Texans. It was very fun to read, the authors express their love of prose and food in 17 syllables.
My favorite sums up Texas speech patterns and the Tex-Mex cuisine. Y'all like spicery Be it chili, salsa, beans. State of the state - hot. So much expression is so few words, that is the essence of the haiku. |
