A Path in the Garden

haiku by

Christopher Herold

Editor of The Heron's Nest

SAMPLE HAIKU:

dragonfly . . .
a stream of thought pauses
on the stone buddha

a warm gust . . .
back through the gate it comes
the whole pile of leaves

hot night
within the din of crickets
a single cricket

“A Path in the Garden is a record of observations– so many of them meditative, my favorite kind– this collection is precious, pure, having the quality of inception– the eternal moment which we come to more as vibration and wave. Bravo!”

– H.F. Noyes

“Christopher Herold takes us on a haiku path where we see the love that goes into shaping a garden. Then he takes us out beyond the walls and shows us where the inspiration for gardens has come from: the forests, the mountains and rivers. The haiku in A Path in the Garden are a delight. They lead me on a path I shall follow again and again.”

– Alex Benedict
