I always carry this small book of Haikus with me. It comes in handy whenever I have a spare minute, i.e. not time enough to delve into a novel but enough time to give my brain some instant food by reading a few of the wonderful three-line poems. So, I'm continuously re-reading this book. I just love the simplicity of the verses. They have a very soothing effect and help distracting your mind from daily routine.
The poems are topically subdivided by the seasons and often let you pause for a moment to become aware of the beauty and diversity of nature.
Even lyric grumps might enjoy this book.
