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!!   🙂

Sour drop dreams, sweetened, like candy

Made Charlotte feel, just a little bit randy

Naughty was she, but oh what a treat!

She’d pucker her lips, though, quite indiscreet

Only the corner store, could satisfy her urge

A delicious stock boy, on which she would splurge

Forget about candy, it really wasn’t her thing

She got what she wanted, from her sweet little fling

He was so very deceptive, in a beguiling way

Romanced the ladies, a little game he would play

Word got around, about this hornswoggling dude

Women would talk, called him names, oh so rude

But he didn’t care, he continued to schmooze

Plates of lobster and steak, and plenty of booze

All he needed to do was say hello, wink, and smile

Flash his Rolex, and gold chains, but after awhile

This no longer worked, and he didn’t know why

Seems the gals had caught on, to this cheating guy

Life offers no comfort, to the ones who came back lost

Those whose minds, were taken, but really, at what cost

Trying to find the place, where last they knew their names

In a country that misunderstands, and never takes the blame

Locked inside, their restless souls, unable to assimilate

Homeless, lying in the street, oblivious to their fate

The drug of choice, so many, as they try to ease the pain

I pray to God, that someday, they’ll come back home, again

Smiling, gladly welcomed, by those they left behind

No longer in that empty space, that lingers, in their mind

Whenever she strutted her buttocks

The men became flustered, such lummox

She’d walk by, dressed in lace

With a smile on her face

Sassy was she, sweet Miss Ruddocks
