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!

bill, thanks for the compliment.
i must say that your poem in the hsa anthology fish in love, the one about the house painter with the brush bristles pointing in every direction is the finest "home improvement " haiku i've ever read.
that poem was one of the reasons yvonne & i chose fish in love as best anthology in the 2007 kanterman contest. ed
spring the cement man's back speckled with cherry blossoms
you're welcome, ed. and, thank you and yvonne for the kind thoughts about my poem in the anthology. by the way, i'm happy to say that my haibun book ("small events") won a special award in the Kanterman 2008 contest.
