About this title

Synopsis

This is a collection of haiku written by an American. A Japanese form of poetry, haiku has lent itself beautifully to descriptions of the author's California surroundings. She has used a language that is all American in association, but very much enriched by her love for things Japanese. "Pageant of Seasons" offers many lyrical haiku, some of which are centered around the Pacific Ocean. Other haiku show nature in all its facets of growing. These poems create a kaleidoscope of charming images and experiences to which each of us will attach his own meanings.
