    About this ebook

    Hope within syllables was and always will be my "soul child".

    When I wrote my 1st ever Haiku, I knew that I would be counting syllables until my last breath.

    This book is a little sad but incredibly hopeful.

      Allowing Haiku

      Oct 18, 2022

      Life has so much to offer, if we’d only listen. The evening was young and my body tired from being in motion all day. There was an intrinsic quietness in the air, with gray skies above and an unceasing but very tender rainfall. I sat at my desk, look
