Never underestimating the creativity of a caffeinated brain, I drink a lot of coffee. The dictionary is my playground. I write Haiku. I go by Coffee Commissar because I have a strict protocol for brewing a traditional pot as well as a Bialetti macchinetta on the stove.

A collection of haiku. Some traditional. Some quirky. Some perky. With a special selection marking the engagement and marriage of the author's daughter. John Picinich has been writing haiku for the past few years, and continues to study and work with the form.
