PoliceBlotterHaiku (12 Poems)I write haiku and micro-fiction based on true crime stories: the small crimes, the arguments, the strange feuds, the perceived threats that never were: all the strange ways that people can go off the rails and suddenly see the world the way it isn't. In 17 syllables.
My book "Police Blotter Haiku" is available from Amazon at: http://www.amazon.com/Police-Blotter-Haiku-Jim-Jones/dp/150047116X and you are also welcome at www.policeblotterhaiku.com for my latest work plus policeblotterhaiku.tumblr.com for illustrated haikus. And if that's not enough, read my "normal" blog at www.secretsantacruz.com
