From Amazon:

This book is the marriage of photography and Haiku, hence the title: PhoKu. Traditional Japanese Haiku is based in nature. The photographs in this book were taken during my visits to parks, lakes and of the flora and fauna in my neighborhood, here in Michigan. To honor the peace, serenity and joy I find in communing with nature using my PhoKu, brings a smile to my heart. May this book inspire you take the time to enjoy the beauty of the world around you.

My Review:

In this 17 syllable poetry, the author includes prose about the geese at a lake near her home. She parks and watches them from her car, and she delights in their activities without interference from her at all. I’m not a voyeur, but when in a coffee shop, I do glance up when people walk past me, I note their clothes, or lack thereof, and I hear their special orders. Sometimes, I add what I see into my own writing. This is what this author has done in each photograph and 17 syllable poetry. Thank you for the insight.
