THF Haiku 5.0

The THF Haiku app, developed by The Haiku Foundation, offers users an impressive and curated selection of haiku poetry from various cultures. With hundreds of poems readily accessible, this app allows poetry enthusiasts to enjoy intimate reflections anywhere they go. Users can traverse the extensive library through filters such as author, source, or content, and even experience serendipity by shaking their device for a random poem from the collection.

Jim Kacian, the founder of The Haiku Foundation, emphasizes the value of engaging with poetry regularly: "Live with these poems a little bit every day and you will find yourself entering a world of special noticing, heightened significance, and more natural relationships."

This application stands out for its excellently curated content, which includes thoughtful translations of classical works by Japanese masters, contemporary pieces from notable modern poets—including a few whose work isn't typically linked to haiku—as well as remarkable contributions from lesser-known authors.
