I do not know what it is; but there is something singular about the inspiration, the coming up with and the arranging of a haiku.

For No. 9, Let's do a Renga Haiku. . . I did the first three lines. Now you have to do the next two and each line shall have 7 syllables. How would YOU finish this one? I did some of these with some of my snail mail pen pals and am looking forward to how they finish those. How fun!



#11. - 25 December 2023. Heart or Mind

it's who you thought of
at the close of christmas day?
did your heart listen?



#13. - 28 December 2023. Married.

so many married,
some quickly without delay.
i hope they're happy.



#15. - 2 January 2024. Sunshine

sun salutation,
you've been hidden for so long,
what's emboldened you?



#17. - 9 January 2024. Grey.

nothing wrecks you like
successive failures at love
leaves ruins of grey.

we've been down that road before.
dirt, dust, rain, no thanks.

quickly come and quickly go.
ephemeral friend.
