Memoirs penned, and leather bound

Knowledge held, without a sound

Changed the way she lived her life

Pages filled with angst and strife

She journeyed far, across the seas

Away from those, she’d never please

And wrote it down, to this, she’d tend

Every day, knowing, it could be the end

Of writing, as she knew the pages to be

Twas this, her milestone, that set her free

I’m thrilled to announce that the third book in my Haiku series, “Seasons”, will be coming out soon.  I thought I’d share the cover with you now.  You see, I’m very excited about it.  The photo on the front cover (and faded out on the back) was taken by my daughter, Alyssa.  This is not her first cover (“Pieces of Life“) but it’s  certainly another beautiful one.  I hope you love it as much I do!!  ❤

Without further ado…..

The date for the third book in the Four Seasons collection will be released soon!!  Keep watching!!   🙂

Inspired by Ritu, of But I Smile Anyway, who is currently in the editing stages of her book!


Mischievous little dragon
Made his way onto the chair

On the desk, the author’s writings
Spread out, without a care

He wondered if she’d notice
If he added a line or two

But dragons don’t know how to write
He pondered, what he should do

Deciding he should try his hand
At a sentence, here or there

With a mighty breath, he blew
Now there’s fire, everywhere!

Whatever shall he tell her
When Mistress sees the mess

“I tried to fix your manuscript
I really must confess!

These scribbles made no sense to me
All I saw were smudges, nothing greater

So I decided to help rewrite the whole thing
I’m sure you’ll thank me for it later!”

I’m excited to announce, the second book in my Haiku series, Seasons ~ Winter Haiku, is now available on Amazon (in paperback only)!  I hope you’ll enjoy reading it!  The cover art is a photo I took this past winter (I’m hoping it has passed at this point!).  I’d be ever so grateful if you should decide to share/reblog.  I thank you kindly, in advance!   ❤

This book contains 50 haiku and is described as:

Winter ~ Colors fade away, changing from gray, into covered mounds of pure white snow. From December til March we brace for the lasting chill in the air, impatiently awaiting the first signs of warmth. The haiku in this book take you from the last days of autumn, through the blustery days of winter and into the hopeful days of spring ahead.

Here is the link for this book – Seasons ~ Winter Haiku – Book Two

I have found the most perfect place

Where no one will find me, not even a trace

Hidden, secluded in the corner, you see

My own little niche, yes, that’s where I’ll be

Just enough light, from the window, at day

Just enough darkness, to keep others away

Lost in the quiet, I’ll peacefully sit

All alone, by myself, I won’t care a bit

Leave me my imagination, and let me read

A book of full of stories, it’s all I’ll ever need
