Two Lovers Warming in the Rain
Night; black-eyed susans curl on the damp, treeless ground with warm sunflowers. |

Dear Grace,
Remindsme of a story told me by a lady who used to live in Bristol. At a Ladies Lunch, one guest was late. Eventually she can rushing in, quite excited, and said that on her way down from the hills where she lived, she had come round a bend and almost shit a heap ..... Love Alan |

Dear Cleo and Alan,
Yes, this actually happened one misty morning when I was driving across the Blackdown Hills in Somerset. He was so beautiful and frightened - and I was just frightened,  and then mesmerized.  We stayed that way for about 3 or 4 minutes before he scented mum and went wobbling off to her. One of those exquisite moments you never forget. Love Grace

A sight remembered from my youth Harold loves Kathleen etched in this ancient tree trunk; transient promise. Incidentally Daniel, I believe that haiku about people is called renyu. Is that correct? ······· ······· Love

for haiku purists, rhyme, titles, complete sentences are faux pas. Haiku is a glimpse, includes seasons and passage of time and has a break after either first or second line.
All that is my impression from reading various sites. My faux-ku, however, require word play and a title ( with word play included in it as well! ) and care not whether other poetic devices are used. I'm a renegade. In true haiku, however, yours might say something like this (I think): golden butterfly fanned spring flowers sigh heart flutters Lightly caring lest I lead someone 'astray' ... Daniel
