Here's mine:
Prose, born of
Prosa, the plain flower
of the open way

Lovely and simple, yet not. Nice one apprentice!
Yup that's me a simple gal :)
It's years of writing civil service briefing etc, I can produce a good sound bite.
Can you squeeze in prozac into your haiku?
Prose well done
can let you toss the
Prozac in the can
How's Zat?
Simple cailleach?????
simple, yet not. Oh dear, I'm not very good at explaining myself PI!
No worries Cailleach, I know what you meant. It was deliberate, like the Japanese ones I tried to use simple language, but involve nature and say something about the root of the word. Hopefully it works.
I did a class on photography and haiku with a local poet who visits Japan. It was really enjoyable.
I would love to do some classes on haiku. I was watching that geology programme on Beeb2 last night and I loved the idea that everything in Japan is minaturised as a partial response to the geology of Japan - pushing everyone into living cheek by jowl and making everyone economise on space. The program narrator reckoned that haiku were an extension of this idea: compactness and succintness caught together to deliver the written impression in as short a space as possible - at least I reckon that's what he was trying to say...
Yes it is really cramped, especially in the cities, where they have those micro hotel, like a bed in an MRI machine lol!
I watched an amazing BBC programme on the countryside there, where a natural spring flows through the house, and carp live in this big stone kist fed by the stream.
I'd love to go.
This is a good haiku site:
