I’m delighted to have five haiku in Gabriela Marie Milton’s new anthology, “Tranquility: An Anthology of Haiku”, which is available now in Amazon!
I’m certain that I’m not alone in seeking tranquility these days. I believe this anthology would be a good tool for therapists who may be looking for books to recommend to clients. Haiku draw readers into the present moment with healing reflections on nature. Here are some examples from the anthology:
A ripple inside,
worries become warriors
peace invades war, Breathe (Camellia S)
universal OM
primordial vibration
spiritual peace (Dawn Pisturino)
wind blowing gently
soft air caresses my face
silent tenderness (Michelle Ayon Navajas)
eyes shut easily
blackened harmony descends
a lightness is felt (Susi Bocks)
loon lake beckons with
its glimmery cloak, resting,
I watch dragonflies (Lauren Scott)
blooming crocus, cooing doves
solitude cools rain
humming bees, poetic breeze (Barbara Leonhard)
