The new THF Per Diem collection, Songs of the Open Road, is up and running over at the Haiku Foundation site. Guest-edited by Tom Painting, it takes us on 31 exciting, meditative, and always inspirational journeys. Highways and motorways, straight paths and winding lanes are there for us to explore all through July. In his introduction to the collection, Tom Painting quotes from Walt Whitman’s poem, Song of the Open Road:

“ Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road,
Healthy, free, the world before me…”

I very much look forward to these journeys. Join me on board the THF Per Diem for the ride. Each day a new haiku here
