HAHA! THANKS YPUNDAY! I ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN SPENDING A GREAT DEAL OF
time in the last week thinking about doing just that. I have an idea and I may actually be able to produce the initial book myself. I don't mean arranging the printing and all, I mean actually printing and assembling the book myself. If, then, I can sell it to Barnes and Noble or Borders, etc. I will have to have the pages printed but can still assemble myself with my family and friends who have worked with me on several projects. Will elaborate privately! Editing would be a welcome effort. Will forward my file later and you can salivate and help me select, I think about 50 haiku. At present I have about 260 in the off'ing!

Hey astraldreamre! how goes it!? The cemetery one comes from personal
experience. When I was 9, we moved to my Dad's new church and our backyard was a 10 acre cemetery. We boys were scared to death at the sounds of the wind through the trees out there and only a week after moving there, my Dad made me go to the basement for something and threatened to beat me if I didn't turn out the lights. When I came back upstairs, every light inthe house was off and they had all hidden. They jumped out and scared the crap out of me. It's a wonder I'm not a serial killer!

I have three favourites
I like the galleon with it's sails abandonded by the wind (it reminds me of ghost ships, one of my favourite subjects).
I like the cemetetary one becasue the image is so clear, (hair rising on the back of your neck).
And I like the winter one (even though we don't get snow here). It is winter here right now and I love it when it's windy outside and you can snuggle under a blanket.

I like the last one the most, it is that contrast of a churning wind mill outside and the author's mind on fresh bread. I really like that kind of "introspection" and "movement".

I'm better, thank you, Najwa! You do realize, yes? That each three line
poem is a poem by itself, right? This is not one big poem. There are some very positive, happy things here as well! But i was definitly unhappy last night! But after some sleep, I am much better!
