This delightful volume contains twelve haiku, themed for the spring season. They are inspired by photographs of garden scenes that are literally in the author's back yard. But they are presented with a twist. Each haiku follows its photo, so the reader forms a thought about the scene and is encouraged to jot down a few words before reading the verse.

If readers are inspired enough to write a poem, they can submit it to the author for a subsequent edition. This is an ideal gift for a friend or relative, in which you can combine a leisurely read of a few inspiring haiku, along with our own thoughts and messages.
