A few of my latest books on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Don-Baird/e/B00LQSKG5O/ref=ntt_dp_epwbk_0
An 80's book Transcending the Void is republished and amongst them! Let me know how you like it.
Haiku Wisdom (not on this page but found through Amazon search, for some reason) is a mix of "easy access haiku," stories, and kung fu philosophy. Light and hopefully thought provoking. As the Crow Flies is a book of more challenging haiku combined with advanced kung fu thoughts and perceptions. Haiku - the Interior and Exterior of Being, is a haiku book that reaches deep into the reader's experience of life. Hopefully, each haiku triggers a great deal of feeling and thought -- and adds to the reader's awareness of the activities (comings and goings) of the Tao and all her ways. This book is my most recent haiku endeavor. It was read at Vroman's bookstore (last month). A packed audience ... haiku ... and good times filled the air! I'm still on a high from that adventure!
pipe puffs . . .
an old man adds
to the storm
—fanning spring . . .
the last seagulls
become a cloud—
over his shoulder;
soldiers come home
one by one
returning
the sound of gunfire
returning
woodpecker —
the unusual tempo
of this morning
AK-47;
the suddenness
of it all
her curves in the hands of the moon
in the space between words worlds
the distance
between grass blades —
this one ant
powder across the pines across
longing for home I become a memory
daydreaming how quickly my mind
each rose the wind leaves behind
tsunami shore;
the child's hands washed
in blood
the rock—
thinking about rolling,
rolling
Drop by, browse, and enjoy!
Thank you.
Well done on the huge success of your latest book, and of the others! :)
warm regards,
Alan
