Welcome to the Haiku Emporium — a gathering of words chosen for their precision, rarity, and quiet wonder. Drawn from nature, culture, and the turning seasons, each offers a small doorway into deeper noticing and poetic attention. Part guide, part almanac, the Emporium is for haiku wanderers: those who roam by season, pause by habit, and find poems in the world as it is.
