Our newest guest haiku’er is Joanne Dibble. She’s a collage artist, a writer, a compulsive reader and a poet.

She is also an organic farmer, which she finds funny as in college she studied French literature and art history. But, she said, “You never know where life will carry you!”

Now that her son is grown and out in the world (“my finest accomplishment,” she said) Joanne lives by herself in her hundred-year-old farmhouse on 30 acres of land. She has three dogs, two horses and a mule.

Joanne’s haiku will appear over the next seven days. Here is what she had to say about writing haiku.

Mine is a peaceful country life, full of daily tasks, but wonderful for writing and making art.

I love the wordplay of writing haiku. It quiets the chatter of my monkey-mind and allows me to focus with intent, in a meditative state. Since I am bipolar, neurons sparking within a calm quiet place are essential to me.

I write about my aha! moments on the topic of life in general and about the wonders of the natural world.

I enjoy both the writing and the reading of others’ work, from the love of nature
to each brief moment of daily life, conundrums abound!
