lampless night--
the full moon shines
on my laptop

    Joel,
    Great for "entering the world" of haiku! I find whether my haiku are published or not, are a very "addictive" form to write in because of the way they are structured (and now the openness to not have to always have to stick to a 5-7-5 or 3-5-3 syllable three-line poem).
    Yours truly,
    David Fox
