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, generally, don't like two line haiku, it's just a personal preference. But, I really do like this one, a third line would be just excess baggage. Great job.
thank you! however, it is a one-line haiku, not two. it might interest you that traditional Japanese haiku were (are) in one line as well (see Hiroaki Sato, One Hundred Frogs, 1983). of course, as you probably know, most English-language haiku are in three lines. anyway, thanks for taking the time to comment.

Nice one. Dogs and Haiku just seem to go together. Can't tell you how much I enjoy your Haiku.

for that matter) DO seem to go together.

After I posted, I realized I should have put one line haiku. I think my brain automatically divided it into two lines by habit, lol.
yeah, i get those moments, too. :)
