Haiku folks! When done correctly, no can defend!

Welcome to the second day of the Blogger Book Fair!

I decided to do some author interviews, but to keep things fresh I (of course) asked for responses in haiku.  Here are the first third of the results.  I will post the second half tomorrow and the final third on the final day of the fair.  Enjoy!  BTW- don’t forget about my giveaway for the fair!

The questions:

Why do you write?

What was the most important thing you’ve gained personally through writing?

What has been the most difficult to overcome?

Here are the responses:

From Dan O’Brien:

To watch the faces,

To walk among the unknown, 

To reveal new worlds

 

A sense of purpose, 

A rhyme and reason to live, 

A piece to call mine

 

Marketing myself, 

Do the dance of promotion, 

Walking without fear

From A. Jarrell Hays

I write because I

have yet to read the stories

dancing in my mind.

 

Expression! Freedom!

I can create anything–

with lots of effort.

 

Procrastination!

Your arguments are forceful,

but lead to ruin.

From Rebecca Hamilton

My mind creates lives

that still do not yet exist

so I create books.

 

I always wanted

to discover my talent

in art. Now I have.

 

Sometimes, letting go,

allowing the words to fly,

without freezing up.

Much thanks to these authors for the heartfelt responses to my somewhat tongue and cheek request.  I really appreciated the insights this exposed.
