Download or read book HAIKU SANDS written by Paul Holman Faust and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2004-03-17 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The verses included in this publication concentrate on themes encountered in everyday life; simple experiences that can be evoked by just a few verbal hints. Ranging in subject from the most elegant to the most seemingly trivial, they capture the essence of what the author describes as “Suggestive Brevity” by sketching virtual word pictures. The Scenes and Sentiments [SANDS] that led to the creation of each of these works are included to illustrate the process leading to such verbal framing. It should, however, be noted that most were written in and about Japan as seen through “blue eyes” so that they may vary significantly from a similar view as seen through Japanese eyes. Readers with artistic or illustrative skill and a “suggestive technique” are encouraged to try their hand at creating a haiga [Haiku-esque Artwork] in the open space on each page. Simple, yet providing a deeper sense of place and feeling, a haiga, with its informal and modest brush or pen work, possesses a “Suggestive Brevity” that can infuse the appropriate haiku with a previously unknown effect.

Download or read book Heading North written by Donald R. Belik and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-05-17 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Donald R. Belik and four of his friends took their first fishing trip in August 1967 as a way to celebrate their graduation from high school. The idea was to enjoy one last time together, but their journey to the Bottle Lakes twenty miles north of Park Rapids, Minnesota, left such a vivid impression on them that they made plans to go there year after year. For the next fifty years, the friends would find a way to traverse the same landscape, going back to enjoy heaven on earth once again. Among tall pines, colorful maples, crystal-clear water, fresh air, foggy mornings, and crisp and cool evenings, they would savor a glorious week of fishing, camaraderie, and rekindled friendship. This book is a refreshing account of a tradition that stood the test of until their fiftieth year getting together at the same place in 2017. It highlights how five friends did not let a changing world deter them from appreciating what makes life worth living.
