Author has written 20 stories for Life, Nature, Love, and Haiku.

Hello, I'm Leigh B., and I have a reoccurring interest/passion for writing.

I entered the writing realm a few years ago, and I haven't been able to shake off the obsession since. I joined FP last year, but I haven't been on here as frequently as I am now. I like to read and analyze the work of others, so this place is a great medium to do so. I also find FP to be a great place to display some of my (developing) work.

Some of my interests:

Clouds, silence, books, writing, music, art, Rene Magritte, photography, humor, Andrew Wyeth, Green tea, nature (and all its dynamic glory), animals, ancient Egypt, Japanese culture, the human body/psyche, the rain, fresh air, libraries, museums, microscopes, astronomy, the universe, the ocean, playing cards, telescopes; koi ponds, autumn, languages, respect, genuine people who you only come by across so quickly, feel-good moments, and feel-good days.

In a place far away from anyone or anywhere, I drifted off for a moment."

- Haruki Murakami, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

2. Summer's Scorn reviews
Trudging through semi-arid land during a windy summer day is not for my liking. A haiku. This one doesn't follow the traditional Japanese 5-7-5 format because, well, it's not in Japanese. It's one of my newer ones for which I've broken the rule.
