Annette has released a new book of Haiku poetry! I have to share because the fairy on the cover is one of my favorite drawings by her sister. Have a peek and enjoy Annette’s poetry. <3

Crafting Syllabic Poetry is my Ikigari đOne day, I stumbled across the Japanese word Ikigari. After some research, I discovered iki means life. In Japanese, Gai means worth or value. When these words combine, they form the definition of ikigari, which is lifeâs worth. Itâs often translated or interpreted as a reason for getting up in the morning. So, yes, writing syllabic poetry is my ikigari.
I also believe writing syllabic poetry strengthens our writing skills. When we create poetry, we gain command of language; cultivate a healthy vocabulary, master literary devices such as metaphor, simile, alliteration, hyperbole, and allegory. We learn to work in imagery. We connect with our ikigari.
When Iâm not writing poetry or crafting short stories, youâll find me digging in my garden, or playing with my two unicorn cats, Chloe & Sophie. I live in East Lansing, Michigan with my husbandâmy soul mate. Most days you can find me writing poetry on wordcraftpoetry.com. đ

Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you, Colleen! After Lorraine read the book, she was so excited. She thinks it’s the best I have written. I believe I was inspired by her picture, as we chose this cover about a year ago. <3
So looking forward to reading. đ
Me too! <3
Wonderful cover! Who doesn’t like a good haiku??
Thank you! I think everyone LOVES a good haiku, but some don’t know that they do.
Well, that’s why you’re here to teach them!! đ
What a lovely cover. Perfect for Annette’s poetry. đ
Thanks, Diana. I was excited for Annette. How magical to have a cover designed by your sister on a book! <3
Thank you, Diana. I love working with my sister. Her ability to create pictures from her thoughts is wild !
What better gift could you give your sister, Annette, than the combination of both of your talents? Priceless!
Thank you, thank you so much. I am delighted to shine the spot light on her.
