Haiku – is a short form Japanese poetry famous for its 5-7-5 rule. These poems consist of three lines. The first line with five syllables, the middle with seven and the last with five.
Poets – write short poems to deliver a message, to express emotions, to share thoughts and musings, to make a call to action and to paint/draw an image using words for the readers to feel, witness and assimilate.
The Holy Bible – is the greatest source in finding the Truth. And once you found it, you share and defend it for the rest of your mortal life.
This small book is my first work of literature inspired by the Holy Bible (KJV) as a loyal and faithful soldier of the Lord Jesus Christ.
