I'll give it a whirl in the second half. What I have found so far, though is that the form tends to perpetuate itself. Put down a couple of 5-7-5s and the next one that pops up tends to be another like unto them. Guess I'm not fexible enough, or something.<BR/>I do take your point about the single Haiku floating in white space - or even accompanied by a piece of oriental art.<BR/>Thanks again.Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-80489320347724426082008-04-14T18:23:00.000+01:002008-04-14T18:23:00.000+01:00I think it's a bit of a shame that you presented u...I think it's a bit of a shame that you presented us with a wall of haiku like this. Because of the nature of the poem I prefer to see them on their own floating in white space like a bird receding.<BR/><BR/>Of the collection my favourite by quite a large margin was: <BR/><BR/>a soft staccato<BR/>wingbeat of a startled bird<BR/>no greater sound that day <BR/><BR/>but I would also have been pleased to see you try a few that didn't cling to the 5-7-5 format. I only subscribe to one haiku blog. I mentioned it in my blog on micropoetry but there was a lot there and you might have missed it.
