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!

A good haiku.
Bespeaks languor, threat, danger and comfort all in the same few words.
Written in the spirit of Shasei, as I understand it - a sketch. Shiki's haiku, apparently, are mostly written in this style.

bill,
have had five inches of snow with another five expected by morning.
can't recall winter setting in this early. haven't been above 36 degrees since november 7th.
per the national weather service we're good for another ten inches of snow later in the week if everything pans out.
i think we're trapped in a snowglobe or perhaps a currier and ives dream.

the lustre
of a moonlit snowman...
winter begins
moonshadows...
a rabbit emerges
from the snowman's tophat
hi ed,
well, that would put me outside the globe.
what an image!
nice poems. thanks ed.

Vaguely reminiscent of one I read somewhere juxtaposing winter stars/sky with a cat's claw(s) in the screen door.
Nice one, Bill. Great pairing of autumn evening and cat's claw...suggests the current moon stage.

That's cool. I hadn't thought of that, Josh.
