A Sampling of the Haiku & Photography from The Lily & The Aster

You will be happy to learn that my book is nearing the date of publication. I received the first proof several weeks ago. And while we are still working through the proof, the official projected date of publication is April 7, 2012, if not sooner. I am so excited!

But, before that happens, I'd like to share more of my book with you. This time a pairing of photography and haiku. First, a pairing from the chapter known as, 'These Autumn Days:"

                                                           The world holds

                                                           Its breath as summer

                                                           Passes away.

Next, some of my photography and haiku from the chapter called "Spring's Silence:"

                                                         Such a delicate

                                                         Silence, while daffodils

                                                         Blossom.

                               Finally, a pairing from a chapter called "Harvest:"

                                                          The smell of fresh

                                                          Summer tomato lingered

                                                          On her salty breath.
