wildflowers
when one word
is more than enough

Smitten by haiku in 2006 at a Yuki Teikei Haiku Society Reading in San Jose, CA (where I live), I've been hooked ever since. What attracted me was the unpretentiousness of a form able to convey human thought and feeling so profoundly with simple concrete description. I'm also drawn to the brevity (I have a hard time finishing things). So, I do manage to finish some, submit them, and enjoy seeing them published in journals and books. My latest haiku pleasure: a letter from the mayor of Matsuyama, Japan, informing me of my prize-winning haiku in the foreign language section of the Matsuyama Haiku Post contest.

  1. The very brevity brings me to a smile! And yes, if there was nothing else, wildflowers would be enough.

    __ The shadows of memory, so often adjust reality; a shadow, is sight's echo.
