Haiku Bonanza! You guys are reading a lot...
Wow! What a lot of haiku! And so good.. thank you all.
This is from my Mom (I recognize her reading list, though she was "anonymous"):
A ray of hope in
Robert Putnam’s “The Upswing”
A new day may dawn
Sam Pepy’s diaries
Tell of plague, war, London fire.
Hard times are not new.
David Best has been reading deeply:
a poetic friend
capturing pain and heartbreak
in the written word
beautiful honest
she writes from experience
teaching others well.
Not surprisingly, so has Megan Willome:
California goes dry
worst case scenarios come
but teens conquer all.
("Dry" by Neal Shusterman and Jarrod Shusterman, a YA thriller)
Desiree is keeping up (and knows something about being a courageous mom, I suspect):
Small girl all alone.
Courageous mom right behind.
Ruby Bridges' tale.
And I might follow the Waco Farmer's lead:
John Wayne: The Life and
Legend by Scott Eyman. Truth.
Goodness and Beauty.
We had this from Gentlemen Prefer Gamera:
Martin Amis writes
autobiographical
novel about loss.
And IPLawGuy chimed in:
Self help books, again
Hope to understand daughter
and maybe my wife.
As did Christine (such variety!):
Some Michael Cohen,
Poems by Alison Swan,
and fav John Grisham.
But my dad best captured my own sentiments:
Currently I am
reading wonderful haikus
in Osler's Razor.
