I'm also learning (irregularly), to write short forms. Please feel free to crit only one, these went together, can't strictly remember why....LOL....
Haiku We gossip, drink tea, breezy bamboo porch soothes us. Bees pollinate buds. Senryu Coffee-shop chatter, mauve mouths munch Danish pastries. Blind tramp passes cap. ·······  ·······Mis temas favoritos
The Lord replied, my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.

Sylvia,
It is indeed the tradition in Japanese haiku to have one line for season or time-of-day reference. However, I have no issue whatsoever with breaking with the tradition here. I recently bought another haiku book, The Essential Haiku, edited by Robert Hass. It contains work by Basho, Buson (my favourite) and Issa. I recommend it highly. Mark ······· ······· |
