Sarah's Haiku

<p>I started writing these poems in May 2016 as a way of distilling issues I often think about. I was seeking clarity of thought in preparation for visits with a therapist. Some poems are memories. Some are issues I struggle with in my life. Some are lessons I need to learn. Some are moments I want to hold dear.</p><p>Nonreaders can read and understand the poems because they are simple and very clear. Even rereading is pleasurable in the same way it’s enjoyable to play a piano piece learned many years ago. The issues are timeless for people of all ages. Hopefully a reader will be reminded of a similar experience in his or her life. These are topics of the human condition as seen from a lifetime of experiences of joy sadness lessons to be learned and lessons to share. It incorporates mindfulness and meditation and encourages peace of mind personal growth and honesty.</p><p>The book represents courage to look at reality without pressure for perfection and with hope for being your best and brightest each day.</p>
