Tontoism? ahh so, Kimosubbie, I see! LOL....Lee, you are a delight and I thank you for your candor and for sharing your wealth of information on how to write haiku (see? I'm learning already...)
With regard to the luna moths...BLAM BLAM! That was a real life observation. I walked up on a perfect pale yellow circle of them in my driveway. An odd thing to see. I dont know why they do that.
I am, of course, interested in anything you are willing to share about how to write haiku. I adore them even if I find them extremely hard to accomplish. This week end, I will have more time to settle in and read this topic thoroughly. Then I'll buckle down and try to to write a good one. Gee, only 78 bad haiku to go! No sweat! ha!
Best wishes and many thanks for your effort here,
Kathy
P.S. I'm left wondering about my concubine one. Was it too bad for words? Offensive? Inappropriate subject matter for haiku? Speaking of that, I might as well post another that got some flak, because of its religious overtones that I was told does not go with haiku...its the one (obviously) about the passion flower. What is your take on that? Might as well throw in a couple more. Feel free to use them as fodder for lessons. I don't mind looking like a doofus...really. *wink*
