American poet Jack Kerouac carried tiny bound notebooks in his shirt pocket where he could readily put to paper any haiku he found in his vicinity as he went about life.
Jack Kerouac wrote:
"I propose that the 'Western Haiku' simply say a lot in three short lines in any Western language. Above all, a Haiku must be very simple and free of all poetic trickery and make a little picture . . ."
Illustrator Lauren Monaco has produced a book of Kerouac's selected Haiku.
Burn brightly, Pete
