In a way it's like a wave. It washes over you, not enough to drown you, but for a moment you feel like you're drowning as you helplessly heave for air and there's nothing to breathe in. Salty water is all there is. Salty water that you gulp down because there's nothing else and it makes you feel sick. The water isn't clear and beautiful like Sally told you it would be, but ice cold, murky and polluted. It envelopes you and you lose track of which way is up. It feels like drowning, but then you finally catch a breath and you don't drown after all. You feel your head aching and your stomach twisting from all the murky water you swallowed, but you are breathing still.

A collection of my haiku that pulls from both my cultures, that of the Arabian beduins and that of the American West. All of the haiku are my original work. I fell in love with the art form after researching about it for a competition I was planning to host. Endless meaning in so few words is one of the reasons I love poetry, and haiku felt like coming home. In sha Allah (God willing in Arabic) you enjoy and are touched by my glimpses into life and reflections of where I am from.
