The author of 16 books of haiku, tripi began the journal Woodnotes which he co-edited. Having lived in three spiritual communities, much of his poetry reflects a Buddhist foundation.

Beautiful haiku.
warm regards,

One of the first haiku books I bought was "white," by vincent tripi, in the 1990s. I remember I read a review in Modern Haiku.
As Alan Summers said, "cowbells" is a beautiful haiku. We surely need beauty.
I love this haiku. Reminds me of my favorite trails…and how I notice something new every time.
I love the idea that a sound changes how we view (sight) something. In typical tripi fashion this one creeps up on you.
How did I miss this, wonderful!
