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!

You possess a self deprecating streak that reminds me of Issa & some modern American senryu poets - though your senryu are more sensitive and imagistic than the usual fair.
This last effort is strong. I'll think of it the next time I'm raking leaves.
raking leaves - mixing in my daughter's colorful laughter
no need to apologize. if I had more time I would be writing longer poems - blank verse & more lyrics. writing haiku give me a way to engage the world through poetry, a little every day.
between carpentry and family, not much time. post when you can. I do the same.
