The haiku form began in 13th century Japan as the opening praise to an oral poem. A traditional Japanese haiku contains seventeen syllables, written in three lines with a 5/7/5 syllable count. The seventeen syllables in the 16 card designs featured here are reflections on motherhood, in honor of Mother's Day (which is every day honestly). Send love, roses, and syllables to the mothers in your life. Cards are printed with archival inks on heavy cardstock paper and include matching envelopes, and purchase options include all 16 designs, the first half, and the second half.
