世に出たい心の道は言葉かな
よ に でたい こころ の みち は ことば かな
A heart wishing
to enter the world
travels by words.
NACOS tips for writing English haiku (or anything else!)
Keep your old writings. Look back at your attempts to express yourself. Don’t toss anything out just because it doesn’t sound good. However clumsily you may have expressed them, remember that your thoughts and feelings are innately beautiful and worthy of expression. Revise. Keep trying. Eventually, you will find the combination of words that builds a bridge between your heart and the world.
