I've been writing and studying haiku since 1992. I've self-produced a few of my own collections of haiku, most recently 'ku' in 2000, and 'nine haiku: winterness' this past winter. I am currently working on a collection of one-line haiku to be completed by this summer.

Thoroughly enjoyed this —
a familiar picture at my home!
It led me along various trails of thought…
through the window
a whiff of violets
my dust-cloth falls
frantic search
for my missing notebook
vacancy sign
i enjoyed this senryu…
& then i wondered about the word “spot”. a spot is a tiny thing – was it a tiny book you were reading? perhaps a book not much bigger than a haiku?

on the table, this winter
pour out my heart

DEAR ELLIS,
NICE ONE.
on those childhood spots
that still call out to me
– tall buildings
the blue wall
her picture vacated …
a spider at rest
