Anne of Green Gables
Orphan dreams, despairs, talks, talks, breaks slate, makes friends, blooms ... finally belongs. ~ *Indebted to Judey Kalchik for launching this Book Review Haiku challenge, and inspired by so many wonderful poetic summaries! If anyone else has already haiku'd Anne, I'm sorry I missed it -- please let me know in the comments.*

The Act of kindness
Once upon a time in a bustling city, there lived a man named Alexander. He was a successful and wealthy entrepreneur who seemed to have everything one could desire – a luxurious mansion, a fleet of fancy cars, and a thriving business empire. However, despite his opulent lifestyle, Alexander always felt a sense of emptiness in his heart. He had become so engrossed in the pursuit of material wealth that he had lost touch with the simple joys of life.

What makes a poem… a poem?
Muhammad Ali went through years preparing to turn into the best fighter the world had at any point seen, yet just minutes to make the briefest sonnet. Ali enthralled Harvard's graduating class in 1975 with his message of solidarity and companionship. At the point when he got done, the crowd needed more. They needed a sonnet. Ali conveyed what is viewed as the briefest sonnet of all time.

Watership Down
A busy warren; a story about bunnies - Not as expected. **************************** I found Watershed Down to be a weird story about rabbits that, in some ways, I enjoyed as a kid. It wasn’t until I got older that I realized it was about a whole lot more, which made it a much more intriguing story.
