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!

Very beautiful...reminds me of a three line M.S. Merwin poem, actually, called, I think, "Separation"...actually, I'm not sure it's three lines, either...will have to look it up....

Good afternoon Bill.
This Haiku seems strained to me.
"I try to forget her" spells out the meaning too much - for my tastes. But then, I value a certain ambiguity & suggestiveness in Haiku.
Every day I see a Haiku from you, encourages me to keep after my own poetry.
that's OK, not all will speak to every reader.
great! get to writing!
