Above all,Haiku Goldis a celebration of the beauty of autumn.This soul-enhancing book will keep you company for every day of autumn.A note from the poet‘Autumn is my favourite season. A season touched with magic as the faded leaves of summer make way to a dazzling display of golds, reds, and browns. When you walk on a natural carpet of autumnal colours, which crunch under your feet. Autumn has its own particular smell too. The fresh smell of raindrops falling on the sun-baked soil, which slowly turns soft underfoot. The earthy smell of leaves decomposing into a waiting soil. While ripe apples drop from heavily laden branches, scenting the grass with sweet, cidery smells. The warm smell of nighttime fires; of carved pumpkins, burning mountains of fallen leaves, and the sulphur scents of fireworks exploding in the night.I read my poetry at many events. One of the major pieces of feedback I received was that people were fascinated to hear the story behind the haiku. Therefore, within this collection are a few reminiscences of how and why the haiku were written. Please enjoy!’ by P.J.
