Tranquility: An Anthology of Haiku, Releasing After Easter
I’m delighted to be part of the ensemble of poets featured in Tranquility: An Anthology of Haiku, published by Literary Revelations Publishing House. This beautifully curated collection brings together the voices of over 240 haiku poets from around the world.
The anthology features stunning cover art by renowned Japanese painter Hikari and fine-art photography by acclaimed artist Naoki Kimura. Tranquility will be released soon after Easter—stay tuned!
Blurb:
Following the overwhelming success of «Petals of Haiku,» which captured hearts and souls and became an Amazon bestseller, Literary Revelations Publishing House brings you “Tranquility: An Anthology of Haiku.” This new anthology will enchant the readers with its delicate imagery and transitory moments, which inscribe themselves in eternity. Featuring nearly 240 talented authors, each bringing their talent and unique perspectives, Tranquility invites you to immerse yourself in a world where night flowers bloom and whispers linger in the spring air.
Poets are prophets linked to nature. In Tranquility, Haiku is their language. – Gabriela Marie Milton, author, editor, publisher
Here is one of my Haiku from the Tranquility Anthology:
Angel
My tranquillity
Has wings and glides in heaven
Free like an angel

The Journey Home (a Haiku)
Sometimes our journey
Crumbles like dry honeycomb
Without a queen bee

Cheeky Wattlebird (a Haiku)
Autumn’s clear blue sky
Has the cheeky wattlebird
Flaunting his bright plumes

Look, I’m about to take off
And soar through the sky

It’s time for my groom”

I hope my Haiku further Embellishes my viewing of the spectacular moon rise over Corio Bay (Geelong) last evening.

Iridescent candle lights
Dancing on the bay
