what kind of day can this be?
owl out the window

Perfect Haiku....very Basho-esque.

Joe

I'm sorry you're dead
Perhaps we really do need
Gun control reform

fog in the city
two marbles on the sidewalk
spring blossoms in bloom

I have always thought
Sonnets and High Coos are dumb
But are hard to write.

Some of these haiku
Seasonal references missed.
Conundrum absent

(Sorry, but I am picky about haiku. However this this thread does put me in mind of the Renga.

I wonder if anyone will notice that I did not call this a haiku...as it lacks the psychological intensity and spiritual depth needed for the genre.Technically, I'm not so sure poets can write haiku in languages written with an alphabet. But what do I know? as a monologuist. It was fun arranging these syllables this way after I had written them, though in a slightly different order.

amo,

Peter

dogs on the run now
two pine trees sway in the breeze
comfort on the porch

Les

p.s.

A poem by any other name
tastes much the same.

Pete, I didn't even notice you wrote it... sorry.. I bought a Rosetta Stone and tried to write a hi coo in early Egyption hyrogliphics,,, got one too many crows in the second line. Gonna have to do it over. Ready for summer?

yes, we'll get a couple days of it next week they say, then its back to San Francisco weather, whatever that turns out to be. Even if I'm getting older, I still miss shoveling snow, throwing snowballs and generally testing human endurance in sub-zero temps in Boston and Northern New Hampshire.

them crows can be ornery.
