About this eBook

(100% sales of this book will go to the Senior's Residences in North Vancouver, BC)


If there’s one thing that is keeping me sane during the novel coronavirus pandemic stay-home order, it is the discovery of Haiku – a Japanese form of poetry. To get inspiration for my attempt at writing my first one, I stood by my bedroom window, just as the sky was aglow in sunset colours. It, somehow, brought hope and lightened the burden of uncertainties that have afflicted me.


“Beckoning to me

glowing sunset of orange

ponder life’s purpose”


With Haiku in mind, the walks I have taken around my neighbourhood have become a purposeful break. With deep appreciation and admiration for the varieties of beautiful shrubs, flowers, weeds, trees, blue skies, even the gray skies, not only do I stop to smell the flowers but also to listen to the soft breeze that carries the birds’ symphony. What an antidote to the fear-causing novel coronavirus.


May the unlikely combination of HAIKU and COVID-19 bring you peace and comfort.

About the author

I write to relieve stress, to escape, and to feel alive. Poetry has taken me to so many different places without leaving the comfort of my room. Each journey, of pen on paper, has inspired me to get going and to keep moving.


I am an Insurance and Financial Advisor in BC, Canada, a job that I love, which supports my newly discovered passion for writing. I am also licensed in 3 other provinces - Alberta, Ontario, and Newfoundland.
