Like Haiku? There’s an App for That

By Harriet Staff

Video Game company Honeybee Labs has created a Haiku app for the iPad.

Here’s this, from the GalleyCat:

App developer Honeybee Labs has a new iPad app available for fans of Haiku poetry called Chasing Fireflies: A Haiku Collection.

The $1.99 app features more than 150 haiku poems by authors including Basho, Buson Kikaku and Issa. It also includes an original score by composer Colin Wambsgans and unlike a print poetry collection, the app’s cover changes every week.

iTunes has more: “Each poem lives within a beautifully evolving background, moving through the cycles of the seasons in perfect harmony.”

Make the jump to read the rest. You can also link to the app in iTunes from there.
