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 and one of major pieces of feedback I received was that people were fascinated to hear was the story behind the haiku. Therefore, scattered throughout this collection are my reminiscences of how the haiku were written,' by P.J. Reed.
