Illustrated Police Blotter Haiku

This blog is new, but police blotter haiku are not.  I’ve written them for years.  And I’ll publish the best of them in book form later this year.

I’m designing the book now.  And I can’t imagine anything more boring than page after page of three-line poems.  So there will be drawings.

Well, photos really – but processed through an image editor to look like drawings.  It works pretty well. And I don’t draw. But I shoot pretty well.

I’m prototyping the conversion process now – mainly with photos swiped from the Internet, but also with photos provided by friends (which I will use in the book). But in the meantime, for your amusement, in prototype: illustrated haiku.  Enjoy:
