Above all, Haiku Gold is a celebration of the beauty of autumn. This soul-enhancing book will keep you company for every day of Autumn. A Note From the Poet. 'Autumn is my favourite season. A season touched with magic as the faded leaves of summer make way to a dazzling display of golds, reds, and browns. When you walk on a natural carpet of autumnal colours which crunch under your feet. Autumn has its own particular smell too. The fresh smell of raindrops falling on the sun-baked soil which slowly turns soft underfoot. The earthy smell of leaves decomposing into a waiting soil. While ripe apples drop from heavily laden branches scenting the grass with sweet, cidery smells. The warm smell of nighttime fires; of carved pumpkins, burning mountains of fallen leaves, and the sulphur scents of fireworks exploding in the night. I read my poetry at many events and one of major pieces of feedback I received was that people were fascinated to hear was the story behind the haiku. Therefore, scattered throughout this collection are my reminiscences of how the haiku were written, ' by P.J. Reed.
