For Summer
bathtime
for once she wants
to keep her socks on
bedtime
suddenly she's learned
how to hop

Lynne Rees on haiku writing - creative and critical
I like the first one. Its very real. Those moments of odd logic that you can only smile at.
ReplyDeleteDo you write tankas, too? This one's my favourite, written by Mokichi sometime in the late 1800's, I think.

a red tomato
lies rotting
I am only
a few steps away
It's tacked on the pegboard above my desk, and whenever I see it, it blows me away!
Hi Sue - yes I do, and have had a few published here and in the US. There a few in the recent Simply Haiku, link on the site list.
ReplyDeleteI love this Mokichi one - thanks for letting me know about it.
Best
Lynne
