My name is Gisele and I write fiction and haiku poetry. I have had over 120 haiku published in journals and anthologies over the last 10 years.

Don't be fooled, haiku may be short, but there is a lot more to the form than most people assume. Haiku is less about the syllable count and more about capturing a moment. It is a poetry of the senses. 

Read more here about why I write haiku. 

If you are interested in learning more about the form, I would be happy to guide you and answer any questions. The first biggest misconception about haiku is the so-called syllable rule. It's a good place to start. Defining Haiku: The Truth About Counting Syllables.

If you enjoy my work, you can show your support by buying me a cup of chai latté or two. It would mean the world to me. Thank you! 🙏💗🌼
