Charles Joseph Fickey may be sworn to secrecy about his covert activities during WW II, but the haiku in this book reveal his obvious talent as an observer of people and their nature, both as individuals and as members of society. Some 1,300-plus poems give him away! Arranged in no particular order, the haiku address matters of love (of course), the weather, math, eternity, war, science fiction, friendship, space travel, the nature of man, the nature of haiku, and the nature of the Universe; and much, much more. You think you are going to stop, now. "Well, just one more," and "one more." Pages later, you are still reading, "Just one more." Mr. Fickey is clever that way!
