Thinking I would appear to be so ‘well read’, at 17 I once read War & Peace. It took me three long laborious months after which I could say, I’d read the book but, it’s one that I would never read again. At over 3,000 pages it was just too long and too boring in parts. On the whole, a good story though 🙂
Nice senryu.
good haiku ~ namaste, ^_^
Wonderfully composed Zongrik
Ah, I admire novelists too… I could never hold my attention long enough to do that and my ear for dialogue…. well, I have no ear 😛
I can’t write for so long and for extended periods….very nice set of endurance ~
A thought for the novelist here is apt. What helped Tolstoy to sustain writing such a voluminous book when reading it itself is such a feat!

I know what you mean. I have had four books published… three non-fiction and a poetry chapbook. The notion of a novel still daunts me!
It certainly takes endurance to write a novel. Nice one.
It indeed needs endurance and willpower to write a novel. Really nice set of haiku:)
Deliberate endurance is how anything, great or small, gets written.

So true about a fiction novelist.
Sorry for the late visit. My internet was acting up. Have a great week.
I can imagine this must be true. Nice dedication to novelists. Enjoyed your haiku.
Clever how the second haiku explains the metaphor as being equivalent to a host of untold realizations. Nicely composed!
