Glimpse of solace: Haikubes

02/14/2015 By Ellen Beals 2 Comments

A dear friend of mine who knows how much  I like words and silliness gave me Love Haikubes (Forrest-Pruzan Creative, Chronicle Books). I fooled around with them to celebrate  Valentine’s Day (of course, I didn’t follow the directions).

    good one! “Naked” and “surprised” make any sentence zippier.
