About
haikuary is your 'haiku diary' blending the ancient Japanese art of haiku with the quiet reflection of keeping a diary. Each day, you're invited to pause, notice the small moments, and capture them in just 17 syllables.
Whether you're reflecting privately or sharing with the community, haikuary is a calm and creative space to capture the tiny flakes of your life.
Why haikuary?
It all began in 2011 in a Japanese restaurant in Auckland, New Zealand with a single haiku scribbled on a placemat about my lunch.
Come here young noodle,
now hop into my belly
we shall be good friends
I built a website to offer a platform for others to do the same on a daily basis - this is now an app for you to do the same.
Features:
• Write and save one or more haiku every day - or just one a month when the mood takes you
• Add your own photograph to bring your haiku to life - or choose from a selection of calming images
• Explore and be inspired by haiku written by others in our small but growing community
• Bookmark your favourite haiku for later inspiration
• Follow fellow writers to build your personal daily inspiration
• Enjoy a quiet, free of charge, ad-free and fake dopamine-free space focused on expression
This isn’t about likes or followers — it is about quiet time with your thoughts and a few well-chosen words and images.
You are very welcome to join us.
