Each evening after work, I read dozens and shared them with other poetry enthusiasts. My crushes were near-daily for about a year before I decided to start a search-and-awards competition, to find great haiku submitted to the HaikuCrush.com site I launched. Hundreds of haiku were evaluated by a panel of judges to select 50 winners for this book, with honorariums going to the \u003ci\u003ebest\u003c\/i\u003e of \u003cb\u003eThe Best Haiku Collection 4\u003c\/b\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI hope you find enjoyment in them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ep.s.If my prediction comes true, I'll look forward to reading your haiku in2025! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAll the Best, \u003cbr\u003eStephen FitzGerald, editor\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51175702266130,"sku":"9798303745599","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_dc4c5582-853f-4982-a3aa-25c548dbc2ec.jpg?v=1744292912","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-best-haiku-collection-4-international-anthology-9798303745599","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
