The Watermelon Diaries

The Watermelon Diaries are a collection of traditional haiku poetry, written in the classic 5-7-5 format.

The poetry is a short and concise examination of the individual in the sudden busyness of a tropical setting, exploring the ironies while searching for peace in the newly trendy lands of expatriates living and frantic commercial development aimed at monopoly of desperate money arriving from the dangerous promises of international tourism.

A very personal yet detached account of love and loss, dreams and realities, expectations and furious narcissism, The Watermelon Diaries are an exploration of growing up and fighting to retain the blurry promises of youth.

Written in classical style and employing the modernism of transcendental realism, The Watermelon Diaries are a fresh yet haunting journey told in the timeless Zen fashion of traditional haiku poetry.
