I like that the book has funny body stuff (that all women experience on some level whether they are old, young or in between) but I'm also very moved by that second haiku about life being beautiful! I'm glad that more poignant haiku are part of the book, too. And thank you for sharing that haiku writing tip. It's something I used to use with my students, a starter line, but never thought of using such a technique with such a small poem. Why not? I'm going to think up my own starter line to get my creative juices flowing. Nice review, Kelly.
