Flyku for YOU...Book Release
Flyku for YOU…is a collection of haiku created by One Single Rose®️ at her flyku stations staged at different events during local and national performances from 2021-2023. Flyku is her personal spin on haiku, an ancient poetic form of poetry based on nature, et al. Based on one handwritten word from audience members on sticky notes, One Single Rose®️ created 17 syllable custom poems and inspirational quotes on the fly by typing on a 1955 Remington Riter, collecting tips or giving the pieces away as gifts. No two flyku are alike! What’s amazing about Flyku for YOU…is that at every station the word “love” came into play. Come to the book release for a brief flyku workshop, performance by One Single Rose®️ and purchase your copy of the first edition of Flyku for YOU…There will be prizes for anyone who guesses what words were provided on the sticky notes and you just may find your name mentioned somewhere in the collection!
