Colorful watercolor, almost abstract, showing three colorful baseballs. The text of the haiku is handwritten against the background in the upper right

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.

  6. Wow! What a great haiga, Mimi–I love the colors and the stitching on the baseballs–the lettering has the feeling as if it is stitched too.
