This blog is an extension of the ideas presented in my book (Haiku Notebook Second Edition, smashwords.com, 2010). It is intended to be a forum for discussing haiku and haibun. My hope as an educator is to stimulate interest in writing these forms. So, please feel free to post. [NOTE: click "comments" to read poems by other poets, as well as discussion]. Thank you for visiting!

lovers' lane fireflies drift into fireflies
for rose mayes
bill, this poem circa 1974. the place, san luis obispo, california. met a girl who treated me real kind. the next day i headed up to the russian river. rose was on her way to san diego. oh to be young again!
what a nice poem--and an even better story (a lead-in to a haibun?). i've got some similar tales myself. to be young again indeed. on the other hand, it's good to be "settled-in" too.

thanks ed, for the memories,

bill,
agreed, settled is good.
if one's twenties were a perpetual
age, everyone would burn out by
the second go round.
all that wanderlust though made settling down that much better...
hitchhiking
an orange moth fills
the emptiness of Texas
El Paso heat
another slice of brisket
melts in my mouth

ed,
being from Texas myself, that brisket
brings back memories.
thanks ed,
