"In a Haiku Meantime" spans several years and through two failed marriages; yes, two. I thought I had learned something from the first marriage, but apparently not enough. Many of us have no realization that we are in the meantime until we look up and find ourselves knee-deep in a pile of shiggady. Yet, there is nothing wrong with being in the meantime, for it is time to for reflection and personal and spiritual growth. "In a Haiku Meantime" takes readers through the growth and pain of relationships, as well as its joys and exultations. The meantime is symptomatic of being in limbo, with the most obvious symptoms being crying, anger, and confusion. Add stress to the cornucopia of emotions and the one constant is pain; emotional, physical, and psychological pain, or any combination of the three. "In a Haiku Meantime" is about the rediscovering of yourself through haiku. Praise goes out to Iyanla Vanzant, the for it was her acclaimed book, "In the Meantime," that had me finding some new revelation about myself that had always been there; I simply had to release and God did the rest. "In a Haiku meantime" will be a painful read for some, while for others, it will be exactly what they need to help them get on out of the meantime with a good riddance salute. "In a Haiku Meantime," is wonderful insightful poetry, full of thought, imagination, soul searching and freedom. Enjoy.
