A Month of Haiku

Hunting Shadows
- Charles Todd

Cathedral Sniper -
Which victim was the target?
Old hatred simmers.

The Wide Window
- Lemony Snicket

Orphans and Aunt Jo
Her note warns about Capt' Sham 
Flesh leeches are near.

Book of a Thousand Days
- Shannon Hale

Two girls locked away,
One - loyal, One - scarred and scared,
Both must conquer fear.

Nurse Matilda
- Christianna Branch

"You don't want me here,
But I will stay and help you
Till you see what's right".

Anne's House of Dreams
- L. M. Montgomery

Tears and joy mingle,
The unexpected happens,
It's all quite flow'ry.

The Lone Star Ranger
- Zane Grey

Action, Adventure
Ego at the start and end,
Pew, Pew, Pew, Pew, Pew!

Right Ho, Jeeves
- P. G. Wodehouse

Bertie wants to help,
But dealing with newts and sharks,
Jeeves' brains are required.

Henrietta, Who?
- Catherine Aird

A murder by car, 
A girl's lost identity,
A jumble of lies. 

Through the Fire
- Hester Burton

Fire in Pudding Lane,
No escape for the Quakers -
Innocents locked up.


"Even when I'm alone I have real good company - dreams and imaginations and pretendings. I like to be alone now and then, just to think over things and taste them. But I love friendships - and nice, jolly little times with people." Anne's House of Dreams
