Description

First Thoughts book of haiku is the revealing result of a challenge to write and publish the first completed haiku that came into my head each morning for just over a year. A surprising range of topics were covered, but with some recurring themes around love of nature, struggles and challenges of chronic illness, and the joys of poetic escapism. No editing was permitted except to follow the 5, 7, 5 syllable tradition for haiku.
"Clever, thought provoking and magical" 
An intoxicating mix of honesty, observation and disregard of reality, First Thoughts is the second in the In Three Lines series of haiku books to be written. The first is ReBalancing which is full of inspiration, hope and everyday wisdom.
