‘A fascinating mélange of sensual experiences. Your poem reads like a mosaic — never tiring us by lingering too long on a particular stimulation. Every line is fresh and invigorating.’ ~ A poetry fan writing about Fragrance of Life
‘Superbly crafted word images — descriptive, picturesque and imaginative. Superbly crafted word images — descriptive, picturesque and imaginative.‘ James Toil

© Cool rain drumming on blistering asphalt,
the scent streams into nostrils.
Uncertain why it pleases.
Fresh popcorn drenched in butter,
childhood memories of
dark, musty movie houses when
Tom Mix raced across the screen.
Rich, peaty earth turned over under an autumn sky,
a primal sense of conclusion with the
larder full at harvest time.
Wrapped in strong arms, nose pressed to warm skin.
Drinking in the heat and smell of the man, your man,
beloved man, the partner in life.

‘The World of Haiku is a striking collection of original poetry; each poem consists of three haiku verses (Renku). Bold, pen-and-ink artwork embellishes each brief poem. The World of Haiku embodies the spirit of encompassing timeless observations in a fleeting moment of verse, and is a delightful treasure for any who enjoy contemplative haiku poetry.’~~~Paul T. Vogel, Midwest Book Review
Ruin (Renku) ©
The barn, sad and old
forgotten still standing strong
cob webs in sun beams
recycled boards raped
floor torn away, back bone gone
dust haze dance in light
the barn sad, noble
survives the last season proud
the roof falls, barn death
A companion Journal so that you can try your hand at writing Haiku poetry
