Check out flamingos that keep cool by pooping on their legs. And butterflies that emerge from oozy caterpillar soup. The haiku are accompanied by additional facts that will delight—and disgust—readers of all ages." --publisher's website
11) The Haiku Pilot
Author
Description
The Haiku Pilot is about using the traditional three-line haiku format to create succinct poetry that departs from the form's usual focus on nature. Readers will find this book short on such conventional haiku imagery as leaping frogs and autumnal falling leaves! The form can happily go beyond the conventional and will accommodate any subject, be it whimsical or profound, fleeting or enduring, natural or manufactured. It was Carol Ann Duffy, a former...

Description
The Fickle Pendulum assays belief and doubt through three historical figures - St. Thomas the Apostle, Galileo Galilei and Laura (Riding) Jackson - and uses them to pivot into wider thematic worlds The writing is thoughtful, exploratory and never weighed down by its subject matter, and the language vibrant and rich in metaphor.

Animals have been entwined with our lives since the earliest days of civilization. Many of the first cave drawings are of animals and how they interact with humans.

Description
This volume of small verses was written as I approached the age of eighty. It recounts love experiences, travels to far off places and settling in a forest cottage with Lanara. It's about finding my way and coming to terms with myself and God. Now, I will let a few of these little poems speak for themselves.

beyond words
At 53, in
China,
I marvel at life
