2020 Vision: A Haiku A Day
"A haiku a day
In the year 2020
Became my mission.” 

Sassy, sweet, naughty, and nostalgic. Kelvyn Koning captures moods that, for many, defined the year 2020 in his unfiltered book 2020 Vision: A Haiku A Day.

~Kelvyn Koning, 2021

"By Now"

I should be an expert at life by now;
     Lord knows I’ve had loads of practice.
I should be an expert at laughter by now;
     I give myself mounds of material.
I should be an expert at love songs by now;
     I hear them each time that you talk.

I should be an expert at heartache by now,
     A numb decrescendo of dread.
I should be an expert at poems by now,
     Seeing and telling the truth.
I should be an expert at death by now,
     Another dream killed in its prime.

I should be an expert at learning by now;
     I have three tassels to prove it.
I should be an expert at healing by now;
     I have more scars than skin.
I should be an expert at stopping by now,
     But I’m always ready to go.
