Nice Collection of Poetry

This was a nice collection of poetry that actually had a story to it. Most books of poetry I have seen were not connected into a story like this one was. I enjoyed it.

Full of Emotions

The writer and narrator really capture the emotion in this story. It is an easy, enjoyable book.

Great story

I recently had the pleasure of listening to an audiobook called Just a Passing Moment in Time, which chronicles the life journey of one man from his conception till his death. It being in the format of poems, more specifically Haiku, it makes it easy to listen to. I received a promotional copy from a friend, and I am so thankful I did. The story of this man’s life was interesting and engaging while still being believable. I am not sure if this was based on a real person or not, but it sure feels that it was.

Enjoyed This Very Much

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book of poetry. The haiku poems are well-crafted and provide a unique perspective of one man's life. I particularly enjoyed the way that the author's writing flows together perfectly, creating a beautiful reading experience. It results in poems that are both beautiful and insightful. This is a must-read for anyone who loves poetry, or just an engaging wonderful story!

Profound Story

I'm not sure if I'm the best person to review this book of poetry, but a friend recommended it, and figured I would try it. I really don’t know anything about poetry. I wasn’t even sure what a haiku was before listening to this.

The poems in this collection are really profound. They make you think about life and all its complexities. The author seems to have a lot of insight into the human condition, and they share it through their writing. They resonate with me on a deep level. It's as if the author is speaking directly to my soul.

This is definitely a book that I'll be returning to again and again. It's helped me see the world in a new light, and for that, I'm grateful.

Emotional and gripping

This is an emotional and gripping story about a man's journey through life. It is spiritual without being preachy. The events that happened in this man's life truly touched me.
