Each poem in her book is like a fragrant flower which is meant to celebrate life, generate positivism, and soothe the soul. If I have to summarize it into a haiku, it’d be:<br /><br />The lei of haiku<br />Sense of beauty and wisdom<br />A wreath for the soul<br /><br />Regarding review, I must say that you have done full justice to it. I enjoyed reading it. It was like a treat. :)Ravish Manihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06743610113574998103noreply@blogger.com
