The Book Of Nature Myths

by Florence Holbrook

The Great Spirit thought, "By and by I will make men, but first I will

make a home for them. It shall be very bright and beautiful. There

shall be mountains and prairies and forests,and about it all shall

be the blue waters of the sea..."

This wonderful ebook of nature myths is nicely illustrated and has a quaint aura of yesteryear. The sort of a book we might find in the attic when exploring as children. Perhaps illuminated by a dusty shaft of sunlight on a too-hot summer's day. I thought to let the short stories for children trigger memories which might represent the moral of the tale, in this case the links item. FULL INDEX How would we classify this type of haikuing? Here's an article which explains our own take on this. By the way, why not get a FREE PC Kindle from Amazon?

N O T E

This post was lifted directly from 28 may, 2012 (check it out on the side-panel). The idea is to apply LITERARY HAIKU technique to some of the delightful stories in Florence's nature myth ebook. So, this will be (as most of our items are) an open-ended page. Bookmark for future reference (incidentally, geodesic_eye has its own favicon now!).
