Bill has a wonderfully light touch. I’ve been looking through his other haiku on tw and he has that gift of making it look effortless. His work is a lesson in avoiding an overwrought output where the words are more precious than the thought (all too common!)

I was just thinking the same thing–that the writing of this poem seems effortless. Natural language in form. Thanks, Bill.
perchance, i should read some of bill’s “other haiku”.
sorry, ellen and norman, i can’t share your thoughts.
is this a haiku, i find myself deliberating.
is it me, or has a concept been lost, or perhaps the gems leaves one totally satisfied, without questions being raised, as to what’s to come next.
steady downpour . . .
cormorants on the snag
i saw this so vividly, especially with the duties
of the cormorant being conceived.
i feel as though something more tangible could have made this haiku memorable.
case in point:
steady downpour . . .
cormorants on the snag
fish need not worry…
for the moment
oh well, it’s nice to have fun, just the same.
can my point be understood…
downpour
the pigeon dips and rises,
dips and rises, splashing in a puddle
stillness –
nary a leaf stirring
duck skims through the humid air
