    Nature's Way: A Haiku Collection

    By John Michaels

    About this ebook

    An uplifting collection of 26 Haiku inspired by nature and the world around us. Whether you're interested in birds and animals, trees and rivers or the weather and the seasons, you'll be sure to find something that appeals.

    The absence of individual poem titles is one of the most liberating aspects of Haiku. Unhampered by the distraction of a label, the reader is truly free to interpret each one in whichever way they wish.

    Whilst each Haiku in this collection was written with a certain subject in mind and has a thematic link to nature, many can be interpreted in other, unrelated, ways. There are no absolute "right answers", so let your imagination drift whilst reading them and who knows what meanings you'll discover!

    The traditional 5-7-5 syllable form has been adopted for all Haiku in this collection.

    Author

    John Michaels

    John C Michaels has always been interested in writing and has fond memories of a childhood spent regaling his parents with tales of glorious undersea kingdoms. In recent years, he's found that, for some reason, life has just had a habit of taking over. Determined to wrest back control of his existence from the demands of the universe, John has thrown himself into writing poetry, especially Haiku.
