under renovations cormorants nesting on the palace #haiku

rows of impatiens we sit for a while #haiku

All Saint’s Day some masks all still on

a man's depression often the unseen face of the moon #senryu

slow walk home someone's doggy doesn't notice me #senryu

asking for mercy weeding self-seeded foxgloves out of the gravel

north wind the orb weaver hangs by a thread #haiku #dailyhaikuprompt

I few years ago I wrote a tongue-in-cheek guide to writing literary haiku called "How to Write Bad Haiku." It also has a picture of the late great Jabberwok, who was tortoiseshell with white patches, and whom I miss. Enjoy! discover.hubpages.com/literature/H...

I have been haunted a a passage from Pascal this week. Man is but a thinking reed, capable of being crushed by the universe, and conscious of that, knows he is wretched. But that makes us better than the universe, as the universe does not know what it does.

#Presence #82 is out and under new stewardship - co-editors James Roderick Burns, Ken Cockburn and Becky Dwyer, members of the Edinburgh Haiku Circle. A few interesting tweaks but still the same fabulous journal, full of cracking work from many talented poets. I wish the new team well. #haiku
