Two days ago my little four year old granddaughter, Nadia, brought me a dandelion that was past the stage of being yellow…it had gone to seed. The seeds were perfectly attached, as in the photo above. She was so proud of the “flower” she gave to me. I graciously accepted it and placed it in a tiny glass of water. Today, I ran across the above image…it reminded me of Nadia’s kind gesture…she is such a sweetheart!
While she was visiting with me, she became very quiet. I said to her, Nadia, you are so quiet?” She responded in a matter-of-fact voice, “Well, Nanny, it is the Quiet of Silence!” WOW! A poet already…

Amazing. A poet’s granddaughter indeed 😉

The collection of Haiku and non-traditional “Western” Haiku will be released on 4th June, and it will be available as a paperback copy on Lulu for £4.99 and as an eBook on Amazon (and hopefully other sites) for £2.99. With a great, crisp, clean cover design by A D Warr, and edited by Reg Davey and Elena Hulme.
The collection includes poetry by new writers who you will want to check out. I am afraid, the publishers featured only one of my haiku that I submitted 🙂
