hotel bar:

This is one of my favourite haiku of the year!
Love it!
lime quarter
an icecube collapses
over jazz
Alan Summers
Its semplicity struck me at once…
I hear the movement of ice in this tiny poem more clearly than I do any tintinnabulating bells elsewhere! Well done.
Love it! ;-)

Alan! I am very happy to see your "lime quarter" haiku again. You forgot one publication credit for it however!

Oh my god, so sorry!
And so timely as I'm putting my collection together due out in Spring 2011.
Big thanks Dylan.

too sore to sleep
I slouch at the bar
nursing a Coke
three seats away
a man with feverish eyes
drenches his date
with fizzless jokes
