Haiku Reflections: The Four Seasons By Geraldine Hartman

[Hearty Guy]

It's very interesting how much you can get to know about a person by reading their reviews, right?

Here is another of my reviews:

This review is from: Haiku Reflections: The Four Seasons (Kindle Edition)

"An act of kindness. Forces emerging then spent. Resonate beyond."

To me, this beautiful Haiku poem, just one from this masterful collection of Haiku by Geraldine Hartman, expresses the creative intelligence behind every Season and every Child born. It also happens to be the perfect description for her enchanting book!

Writers, think about it – is not writing an act of kindness to one's self, in which you give voice to your musings, pondering, and reflections so that you may allay a doubt, a fear.. rejoice? In which your subjects are memorialized, embellished, or created out of whole cloth for the benefit of the reader? The motives and the characters are as varied as the changing landscapes of the Four Seasons.

Haiku are seventeen-syllable poems that originated in Japan and date back at least to the 16th century. Meant to be recited in one breath, they seek to convey a deep awareness of nature through implied contrasts, comparisons and association.

Current times bereft.
A pregnant past could tell.
Letter lasered pane.

Not a very good effort on my part probably; Geraldine inspires us to try at least!
