This page contains some excellent Haiku poems from Stephen King fans that have been placed on the ABSK (alt.books.stephen-king) newsgroup in recent months. If you are a Stephen King fan, then ABSK is one of the best places on the Internet for information about the man and his books.

Many poems were placed in a common thread, and each author was contacted to see if their poems could be placed online. All involved agreed.

He writes about the mountain
