WAVES
OF LIFE
A collection of Haiku
by
Jill
Guffey
The
inspiration for my haiku comes from a specific area of my life.
My family has always been very important to me, so they have
impacted my writing. Also, I am dating a wonderful guy, and
he has added to my haiku. Last and most important, my Christianity
is very important to me and has shaped me into the person that
I am, so it plays through in my haiku. Thank you for reading
"Waves of Life". I hope you enjoy it.

The
haiku that Jill creates apply to everyday life. This makes it
real for anyone who reads her haiku. Her haiku are a door opening
to take a pause in life to imagine a new creation. I really enjoyed
her haiku. M. Sams |
