It is a poetry collection that blends the simplicity of haiku with the timeless allure of outdoor adventure. This unique book offers readers a chance to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the natural world through vivid, concise verses.
Adventure-ku takes readers on a journey through mountains, rivers, forests, and starlit skies, showcasing the essence of outdoor experiences in the traditional three-line haiku form. Each poem reflects moments of awe, challenge, humor, and gratitude, reminding readers of the profound impact nature has on the human spirit.
Organized around elemental themes such as earth, air, water, and fire, the collection mirrors the forces that shape both the natural world and human experience. From the exhilaration of summiting a peak to the quiet reflection of watching sparks rise from a campfire, John’s haiku reflects the extraordinary beauty within ordinary moments outdoors.
