an American haiku (...the oak...) Options

[Marc-Andre Germa...]

arid summer -
the oak by the septic tank
dips its roots

Peggy,

The American haiku...I've posted these links on other threads, but you may have missed them:

Offended? Nope, that's not exactly it. Frustrated, perhaps. Disappointed with the responses received in the last two weeks, yes. I have removed a poem that did not receive any response in eight days, an experimental one which I feel (I might be mistaken here) was probably ignored because it didn't fit into any MM category...I removed a haibun which also didn't appear to have its proper place here. Other posts have become tautologies over terminology with little response (some with none) to the poem I had posted. How would you feel? Frankly, I feel no longer inclined to post my poetry here.
