#UpForAChallenge ? Yes, I did post a haiku using the word “autumn” yesterday. Did you? autumn view sliced up by slats in the blind Today can we write like the haiku masters, clearly suggesting the season without naming it? outside my window— on one branch, yellow leaves glow in the sun #haiku

Even in troubled times, I find joy in reading Issa’s haiku & writing like Issa. Issa helps me zoom in on details of life around me, responding in childlike wonder, as Tom Sacramona does here: a puppy licking the dew off everything (p. 37, of David G . Lanoue’s Write Like Issa) #haiku #HaikuTip
