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!

I really like this. _I've always considered myself a "contrary," against the flow. _No matter what we do, the river continues; the river, a metaphor of nature's whole. _m

Hmmm... this is the only haiku, of yours, that skirts cliche. I think I've seen the combination of "river" and "run" too many times.
I like it though it is on the verge of aphorism, reminded me of a saying of Confucius when he stood by the river:
“Time goes on and on like the flowing water in the river, never ceasing day or night!”

thank you, Lu.
