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, our relentless winter continues... 8 inches of snow yesterday on top of 10 already... 3-6 more tomorrow night... 2-4 more wednesday...
temps on tuesday to nosedive... high temps the rest of the week between 0 & 5 above... winds chills 25-35 below zero...
so, i offer this haiku from our last warm days which occured on october 21, 22 ,23 & 24... & to make it a little warmer i'm adding a touch of california dreamin' to it...
a Giants cap on the jack-o-lantern... indian summer

thanks ed--though i am an A's fan
actually. it is near freezing overnight here,
but no valley snow thankfully.
happy new year!

Bill,
This is an especially strong haiku. My favorite among the last dozen or so. There is motion, sound, and narrative in this haiku.
Always a pleasure to stop by here.
I'm going to be reading some Basho tonight.
thanks patrick--enjoy your reading!
