About Me

A fan of brevity + rythym, haiku is my favorite way to write.

"One of our first family members Haikubebe is our most recent favorite. So consistent. So good. So followable." --J.B., Nu Haiku

"Thank god for the good poets, as they give me my language when I have none to use. That said, it's time to thank god for Kristen Lem. Otherwise known to me as Haikubebe, Kristen is a very darling extension of my voiceless self. In tiny and tidy packages of 17-syllables, she manages to give voice to those things I feel and experience which have yet to identify themselves as things needing to be said or heard." --D.W,, Little Miss Raconteur

After all this time,
we’re family – but I don’t get
you. And I hate it.

You’ve made her happy

ever understand.

“You’re cut after you
finish your sidework,” could’ve
been angels singing.

I could never be
calm with someone like me, so
be steady for me.

It wasn’t so much
the loss of you, but all the
things we’d never do.

Fred. He’s a classic,
a clown. Smooth like Astaire and
hot like Mercury.
