Hi Daniel, Thank you so much for reading and commenting. I'll have to take the "Review Clue" link off. Originally there was a very flattering review of my book. As for the senryu and haiku section, I wrote an introduction explaining briefly the way traditional Japanese poets write them and then explained that I'd "westernized" the form by adding titles and rudimentary punctuation and capitalizing more words than the classic masters. I have 16 haiku and senryu all total; 17 free verse; and 16 rhyme and rhythm. I'd love to see what you think of the book! Peggy Harwood Daniel, see if the following link works better. It did for me! http://reviewclue.com.au/snippets-of-life-...mature-readers/ |

I just published a book of poetry. It is titled "Snippets of Life: Poems for Mature Readers." It is available on Amazon. com and Amazon UK The book is divided into three sections: free verse, rhyme and rhythm, and haiku and senryu. There are 49 poems and the page count is 52 pages. Take a look at it on Amazon! It sells for $12.99. Peggy Harwood To look at the Amazon listing click on the link below Snippets-Life-PoemsBelow is a review a friend wrote about my book. Reflections on "Snippets of Life" by Joan Kerns In Snippets of Life, Peggy Harwood has created a poetry book with a range of styles, such as free verse, rhyme and rhythm,Haiku and Senryu, that would engage both poetry lovers and non-poetry fans. There is something here for every reader as Peggy deals with a variety of life experiences from her childhood, travel adventures, events, and friends that have played a role in shaping her life. Peggy's love of the English language and word usage comes through as she brilliantly uses words to set a stage, a scene, an emotion, and stirs the readers' imagination. Peggy's "Snippets of Life" addresses all types of life situations, good and bad. From "Love Rekindled" to "The Repentant Adulterer", the reader is pulled into a range of emotions from sorrow that a relationship floundered to anger that one relationship was either forced or thought of so lightly. Several of her poems "A Gull's Vision" and "Renewal" caused this reader to sit back and reminisce about the times she sat at the seaside listening to the gulls, and as Peggy wrote..."There's something soothing about the sea - Which takes my soul back to where it should be." This is a poetry book to be read leisurely or by section , allowing the reader to absorb all she has to offer at a pace where the poetry can speak to the reader as it did to Peggy. |
