Summer Sunshine Returns....

 

Don't you just love daisies! I sure do. 

Summer flowers that seem to smile.😁

Stop by my author's site for regular updates and new book promos. 

Seasonal haiku poetry and photos too. 

Wishing You a Happy, Healthy Summer!!!

Are You Ready For Spring?

I sure am!!! 🌷🌷🌷

This winter here in Northern Alberta has been long (already), very cold (even for the Prairies) and with LOTS of snow. I love all four seasons, including winter but I am so ready to see the warmer weather, flowers and clear skies return.

Hope you enjoy this photo and haiku from my Haiku Reflections poetry series.

SPRING: BRING IT ON!!!

Haiku Reflections III (now available) ! 😊

Haiku Reflections III

Is now completed and available at all the Amazon sites! 😊

And yes, I DID change the cover photo AGAIN!!! 

The print copy is already available and the Kindle version is available for pre-orders, which will be delivered automatically to tablet,kindle...., on June 1st. 

I decided to go with a pre-order arrangement for the Kindle version this time, while preparing some marketing plans and finishing up my new author website. 

I am so happy with how this book turned out. 

A labour of love, as always. 

How I love all things haiku!!!😁

Here are four sample (spring) poems from Haiku Reflections III (120 poems in total) and one of the interior photos:

Steamer trunk, lavender.

Rereading old love letters.

Break from spring cleaning.

*** 

“Pussy-willows, cattails...”

Humming an old Lightfoot tune.

Tiny silverfish.

*** 

Warm winds and fresh scents.

Sensing the earth awakening.

Planning the garden.

*** 

Bulbs bursting through.

A feast for the senses.

Awaiting jonquils.

Wishing You a Wonderful Day and Happy (Haiku) Reading! 😊

An Exciting Amazon.ca Screenshot to Share! :-)

                                                                            

❤ This page, at Amazon.ca (this morning) really made me smile!! ❤

                             

                                                                                                

That is one of my eBooks: Haiku Reflections I, in the Number 1 spot for Japanese Poetry and Haiku, on the paid list!

I have had several of my eBooks show up on Top 100 lists over the years, but NEVER in the number one spot, on any paid list.

 I am honored and encouraged by this.

 I've actually been thinking about writing another haiku eBook (I have two in this series to date) and this has given me a gentle push to get started on that book project.

Haiku is one of my favorite poetry forms. I love the simplicity but at the same time, complexity that is part of creating a memorable haiku poem. 

If you are not familiar with this poetry form, you can read more about it at one of most popular  and respected haiku sites :

Haiku Journal
                                                                                           

And, if you'd like to check out my Haiku Reflection series, you can find the two eBooks (with seasonal photos) at these links:

Haiku Reflections I (at Amazon.ca)

Haiku Reflections II (at Amazon.ca)

and

Haiku Reflections I (at Amazon.com)

Haiku Reflections II (at Amazon.com)

I probably won't stay at the top of that list for long (these lists change every hour) but I'm sure glad I happened to check out that particular book today, at the right time! 😁

Have a super week!!!
