I wasn’t going to write a poem about the Russian-Ukraine war but this poem insisted on being written, and would not leave me alone until it was done.

Do I sound ok in this?

I would like to say a big thank you to ‘L’ for their wonderful review of Flicker! I hope it doesn’t make me sound too weird though

‘I always enjoy reading Reed’s poetry, and Flicker is no exception. This entire book of haiku (or senryu) of people watching during the pandemic is well and tightly written with beautiful word choices and powerful imagery,’ L.

Haiku Summer

Are you missing summer?

Dive into Haiku Summer
The Beautiful Book of Summer and Sunshine

‘Within the pages of P.J. Reed’s gorgeous collection, Haiku Summer, you will find a magical selection of haiku which will transport you to the halcyon days of summer in the northern hemisphere.

Haiku Summer by P.J. Reed

Summer is a happy season of warmth and friendship. It is the smell of BBQs – of sausages sizzling and smoke wafting across the streets. It is the sound of parties, glasses chinking, and people laughing. It is water fights in the garden and slowly deflating blow-up pools, gradually filling with grass and leaves. In Haiku Summer, P.J. Reed has captured the very essence of summer.’
