my pride & joy; in time for international haiku day. About 500 of the haiku are new, and there is enough modification that each state is very different from last year. Available at Amazon by clicking the picture, or at the createspace store, which has the author's biography.
It is not easy to write 500 haiku in a year; I am not sure I can keep it up. It is especially not easy to write them in different ways, such that they will coordinate with each other, and give me enough so that I have every season, every state, something new and fresh. Remember that I was not in all states at all seasons; for example, in Alaska, for winter, I must go entirely on what I've read. But, since I love reading about Alaska in winter, this gives me an excuse to get all this information that was basically at my fingertips anyway.
I would like to remind readers that this is really the second in the series. I started printing them, on plain paper, in 2011, but it took me four years to even get my first thousand (this happened in 2015) - so, much of what came before 2015 is included in 2015. Thus one should consider 2015 the first, the basic. All others will spring from that.
As a result, I may make 2012, 2013, and 2014 collector's items, by removing them from the sales whirlwind. Scarcity may make them more valuable, when in fact the poetry in them may not, since it isn't unique. Such are my plans, but I am not acting on them at the moment.
