Haiku is fun but the guidelines for new Haiku are confusing. I first got the book from the library but have ended up using it a lot.

Beautiful .. the pathways are hidden a lot of the time, but they are worth the difficulty in finding them.

This is as it is suppose to be, one deep breath and renewing, what a song you have sung with your clarity.
