Featured Poet: Timothy Huff, a Binghamton, New York transplant, is a lover of nature and sunshine - which brought him to our beautiful 'Burg some 30+ years ago. He lives his Florida dream with husband Randy and his dog, Toby. A custom window treatment designer by profession, the Covid crisis brought out his inner poet, sharing haiku with online friends. Tim joyfully shares his observations of nature in his backyard, now named Haiku Garden. Tim has two published books of haiku poetry. His first book “The View From My Deck, Haikus Inspired By Nature” came out in 2020. After having much success with his first book, he came out with his second book of haikus “Another View From My Deck, Haikus Inspired By Nature” in 2024. Tim gives talks and workshops around the Tampa Bay area.
