Poetry is something that is in my head 24/7. I think, dream and speak in poetry. Not just any poetry mind you, generally I’m all about haiku! Last year, I debuted a book of haiku in honor of National Poetry Month, so I figured I would share A Haiku Perspective 2016 this weekend to continue the celebration. From Friday, April 21st 11:00am EDT through Monday, April 24th 11:00am EDT, you can enjoy a .99 Kindle Countdown deal on this book.
I filled this book with haiku written for blogs posts, contests and challenges. There is even poetry that only those who have this book have ever seen. One of my favorites is called: Thanks Dad
The phone rang just now
From hundreds of miles away
He just got the book
Loves the duck picture
You know, it just spoke to him
He said, keep writing
Why this is special, is because he had just gotten his hard copy of PhoKu and was so happy with it that he wanted me to know he was proud. So, I wrote a haiku about that call and included it in THIS book.
I got another phone call when he got his copy of A Haiku Perspective 2016. And he takes the books with him when he goes to town and shows everyone how he inspires poetry. What a guy… Thanks, Dad!
And thank YOU for enjoying my books! You never know who could be inspired with a copy of A Haiku Perspective 2016, even you!
