Surprise, surprise! Hi Anna,
Daniel and I have this forum mainly to ourselves due to non-participation but I am very happy you have dropped in. Many of the Haiku that we have exchanged would not be "technically" considered a true Haiku. If you want an excellent lesson on what constitutes a Haiku, try this link. Or, if you want, click on the << icon at the top of the page to get you back to page one of this thread. I am so glad you decided to join us at MM and if you would and have the time, go to the top of the Home Page where it says "Introduce Yourself" and do so! A lot of mine and Daniel's Haiku contain lots of puns and innuendoes. That is what happens when two old guys are sitting around wasting time with little or no feedback or critique to deal with when something is posted. Daniel has even invented a new form call "faux-ku" where things can become even more ridiculous. Glad you dropped in and perhaps, you may want to join in or post some of your work in the appropriate forum. Larry ·······  ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

Daniel, I doubt whether either of these would be considered Haiku but could think of nothing else to post.
