Bogus. Nor even haiku

I started with five randoms and four didn’t even have the 5-7-5 meter. I gave up and will delete it after this review.

One of my favorite apps

I read a haiku each morning—they are always profound and absolutely lovely in their own way.

Doesn't stop!

Nice idea. Random play scrolls through the selections with out stopping so the only way to read a haiku is by selecting one from the library. Has potential.

Thought provoking

Inspirational.
Others words enlighten me, and cure writers block.

Excellent poems; wide-ranging eras and styles

An excellently curated collection of haiku, this includes thoughtful translations of works by Japanese masters, poems by some of the top modern poets (including a few not normally associated with haiku), and fine works by unknown -- or little-known -- writers.

You can let the application choose a random haiku, or leaf through a library of poets and first lines.

For anybody who appreciates poetry, THF Haiku is a wise purchase.

If the developers expand this periodically, or offer annual updates, it will be a prize.
