Here's what readers are saying about: the Haiku Reflections series by Geraldine Helen Hartman: "Ms. Hartman captures the essence of what our eyes and minds too often dismiss: a weathered gazebo, lemonade, a thunderstorm, rain, a mop and bucket, a bridge, or a simple act of kindness." William Hammett, author of John Lennon and the Mercy Street Café "Haiku Reflections is a light hearted collection of modern-style haiku. With themes that exist within seasons, alight with spirited punctuation, the language and moments of reflection are beautiful, gentle, and occasionally whimsical." Glenn Lyvers, Haiku Journal "Exquisitely written poetry that will wash over your inner most being with a cascade of nature's colours. Haiku Reflections by Geraldine Hartman will nourish your spirit through every season and inspire you to live each day with purpose and gratitude. A beautiful gift." Cam M., a reader from BC, Canada "I confess, I don't know much about the art of haiku, but I do know a lot about words, and Geraldine Hartman uses them in spare, but beautiful, combinations to evoke a whole host of seasonal images and emotions. You wouldn't think a mere three lines--just 17 syllables--could say so much, but if chosen wisely, they certainly can." Marcia Meara, author of Wake Robin Ridge
