Dans le jardin is a found heritage, those families of unicorns that alight with the gift of lightness and purpose. God, so wise to choose the wee ones (insects) to pollinate our gardens, is a miracle to behold. Treatise here attests to the elegance of wonderment of the multitude of species that, due to minute size, do not bend the stalks of flowering plants. As they metamorphize into pollinators, they gather nectar and, in turn, nourish us. Included here as well in the haiku treatise are the hummingbirds and their slight winged wind, again a testament to the lightness of being - also a pollinator by God's scheme. Within haiku, a poem, and the all elusive picturae, you find the daily joys of a gardener, tending to all.

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Here, again, is a chance to acclaim a Calendrier Saison in poetic verse. Within is a treatise regarding the merits of the season the artist calls "Sacred Summer." A testament to the value of seeing the Summer season sacred through the lens of a rhyming poet. Again, mullers are invited into quiet, reflective contemplations of the Summer's ever-warming gifts. These warmer months' highlights are revered through kind and considerate illustration constructions, for this is truly a sacred season.

Gardens hold the key to our salvation. Garden growth and harvest were always intended to be our nourishment. These adages attest to the garden's perpetual and everlasting forgiveness. And to gardener's gift to participate and grow. Belle's Garden Adages appear in this illustrated book due to the author's everlasting kindness in attending to "green growing things." Forever enchanted by the woodland creatures, shy today, but always present in gardens. The painted illustrations capture days in the life of a city garden and yard, grown here and witnessed since the late '60s.

Here within is a treaties regarding the value of the season called Spring. A testament to the value of seeing the divine through the lens of a rhyming poet. Pledged to awake us, reflective thinkers, those characterized by deep and quiet contemplations, we the mullers to venture out into the grace of Spring. Illustrated with examples of the awakening of this flourishing pattern of nature's growth and renewal. Plus, an avenue to showcase many dignitaries' contributions to the season, thus entitled Spring.

Eight Pound Blessing is a saga of care and fun bestowed in a gentle friendship between a dog and a woman brought to print in the form of haiku and illustrations. Years of joy and companionship are captured here, for dedicating respect is well-founded.

Haiku Reflections volume 2 are 180 reflective poems meant to be potential proverbs of just actions, these just and noble acts witnessed and recorded by the author's emotional heart. The author finds moments of captured good deeds fit to print their interpreted essences. The author responds to kindness as rain to dust, a continuous "petrichor" delight. In the many caring acts witnessed, volume 2 is dedicated to Camelot's Holy Grail... the enlightened, intuitive pulse of pacifists.

These 180 haiku are volume 3 of an ongoing series of tenderhearted words mirroring the dignity of life's many kind pulses. Like a mirror reflecting the art of goodwill experienced and expressed. Poems echoing window frames of sincere words with the structured framework of a haiku construction.

A Kind Poet's Proverbs, words of courage composed by the author, stand as a testament to life's truths and are written hoping to acknowledge there is a quality in the daily grind of life. A proverb penned holds promise when the breath and hope of another are never to be forsaken but are indeed wisely factored in. More could be philosophied upon, but these crafted gems of wisdom are intended to capture and reframe any of the chores and experiences of everyday home life and are joyfully shared here. Proverbs philosophically stand the test of time, so this genre was kindly chosen and tackled and enhanced with the poet's still life illustrations.
