Poetry about nature around us is always one thing that brings me inspiration at every waking moment, I can fall in love with it, find peace stirring at these subtle words, and never get enough of it. Just like the book's name, I think this book can hold some small joy for me.

The depth of emotion in Each Day Holds Some Small Joy by Lynda McKinney Lambert seems to beautifully intertwine nature, faith, and the profound simplicity of haiku. I’m eager to explore how these poems can offer daily solace and a fresh perspective on life’s small joys.

I love poetry, so this book appeals to me. I love the concise form of poems, and it's even more wonderful that they are connected to nature.

I have heard of The Haiku Style Poetry but haven't gotten the opportunity to read a book that describes the dept of it.

This book is giving me the opportunity to do so ..

This is the first time I'm hearing about "haiku-style poems." I cannot wait to see what these kinds of poems are about.

Unlike other poetry books, this one seems to be easy to understand. The haiku style of poems sounds appealing as it focuses on nature and the emotions or thoughts nature inspires. The Christian perspective seems to be a positive complement to this collection of poems.

I love the word play in poetry and I would love to have a taste of this style of poetry, haiku-style. The Japanese poetry seems to be quite interesting. I will read the book. Congratulations on being the BOTD.

I'm rarely one for religious books, but I do love haikus and the idea of finding joy in the simple aspects of life. Religious or not, nature is beneficial to our well-being. Thank you for your review.

As the title suggests, joy permeates each day in Lambert’s world. Whether she observes a dew-kissed petal or a sunbeam filtering through leaves, she finds solace in the natural world. Her connection to nature mirrors our own yearning for moments of quiet beauty.

The book’s editing is flawless, and its professional presentation enhances the reading experience. If you appreciate poetry—especially the concise elegance of haiku—this book is a treasure. Lambert’s work encourages us to pause, breathe, and find joy in the small wonders around us.
The review also encourages to read the book.

Seems 5 out of 5 to me. I mean poetry is so top level. It describes everything in few words and is capable of relating with readers. And I have never read haiku style poetry but I'll give it a try based on review. Also the intricacy is beyond any words.
Also the description of nature and things is beautiful.

Today's BOTD is a haiku-style collection of poetry that would be perfect to keep on a nightstand or coffee table to read over time. Readers who appreciate depth in simplicity, as well as the reflective meaning behind each of these poems, are going to love this collection. I've downloaded my copy...thank you! :-)
