Sue’s Midnight Haiku is now in a collection and available today! 🎉 I’ve posted about my love of Sue’s haiku here and am so excited about this!
New Release
Midnight Haiku by Sue Vincent
Haiku is a Japanese poetry form that has become very popular over the past decades, taking on its own unique character under the rules for Haiku in English.
a creative mind
just seventeen syllables
sharing a story
The three hundred and sixty-five poems within this book collate a year’s journey in poetry through the seasons and the intermingled landscape of mind, body and spirit. The poems were originally published as “midnighthaiku” every night at the appropriate time, leaving, like Cinderella, a trace of a day’s passing and a glimmer of the day yet to come. Each poem can be read ‘on the surface’, but each has its own layers of meaning too, waiting to be discovered by those who turn their attention to the heart.

My Review:
Sarah Brentyn’s review of Midnight Haiku: A Year in Contemplation | Goodreads
Midnight Haiku is more than a book of poems. Written with insight, intent, and reflection, this collection provides spiritual nourishment. The photographs, reflecting themes of nature and existence, are perfectly chosen.
It is possible to read this in a few days but, to truly appreciate these pieces, it’s best to read one (or two) at a time. Perhaps each morning. The author has set it up this way, actually, as the subtitle suggests: A Year in Contemplation. With 365 gems, this is easy to do.
The beauty of this poetry will add light to your life. Each haiku, skillfully written and poignant, left me with a sense of gratitude that stayed with me throughout the day. A collection to savor and treasure.

You waited long enough, Sarah… and it was quite strange, putting it together and seeing how they all ‘worked’…

Ha! Yes, I’ve wished and waited for the day… 💖
Can’t wait to see how you pulled this all together. I’m sure it was a bit strange (but, hopefully nice, as well) to see all the poetry pieces and fit them into a beautiful puzzle.

I finished the collection last night, Sarah, and will write my review today. I noticed the dedication, too. How lovely. This is one I’ll read again, one per day for a year. There are so many gems. I’m glad Sue gathered them into a collection. Hugs

Did you? That was quick! Agreed. I am thrilled Sue compiled these gems. And I was thinking the same thing just this morning. My copy arrived over the weekend and I just said this morning I was going to read one per day for a year. 💖 (And, yes, the dedication got me a wee bit emotional. I guess that’s what you get for nagging.) 😉

Ha ha ha. I read through it in about 3 days so I could post a review this morning, but I do want to read it again as a daily contemplation. ❤
