As any of my regular blog readers already know, I LOVE cats. I have long "been owned" by many felines over the years; currently by the fab Mr. Cheddar (who btw is co-blogger here at My Real Life Reviews). And as the author of two haiku poetry collections, I also LOVE haiku poetry.
When I saw: Cat Haiku by Deborah Smith over at Amazon recently, I was eager to give it a read. This eBook did not disappoint, it's just wonderful! :-)
Deborah Smith is the author of several books/eBooks and also by her own admission a "crazy cat lady" who knows first-hand the joys, thrills and spills (pun intended) of being owned by several cats (she currently lives with 8 felines!), yes EIGHT!!!
She is not only a talented writer; her artwork featured in this book is both original and captivating.
Here are a couple of poems from the book that I particularly liked:
Cats make bad soldiers:
No discipline, no order
And they won't salute.
***
I see beyond worlds
Deep hearts,
waking fantasies
in my eyes
are dreams
I can SO relate to these lines.
And again, the artwork that accompanies each poem adds so much to this collection.
I only keep my absolutely fav books on my Kindle carousel (home page) but this eBook will definitely be staying there for the foreseeable future. I love to re-read a poem or two, when I'm reading on my Kindle. These poems always bring a smile to my day.
If you love all things feline (like I do) and perhaps haiku poetry too (even better): Cat Haiku by Deborah Smith is an eBook you will not want to miss. Highly recommended.
Overall rating for this eBook: Excellent. 5 out of 5.
