Lee,
Thank you for the compliment. When you stopped by in 06 that was my first real taste of Haiku and I am truly grateful for your encouragement and patience with many of my amateur attempts.
I agree that the cat and the robin are probably the best of the bunch; (I like the apples on the lawn too and the little bug,) all real Haiku Moments (they do happen sometimes!)
I see the double seasonal references in the leaves & winter and think I will get out the scalpel. Maybe some good Haiku still lie hidden beneath the surface of those two…
Much Appreciated,
Fr. RP
PS: How long are you around, I have many more but don’t want to inundate the thread. Also, do you do Tanka? I have found it to be a very exacting art that keeps me striving and I think it helps me write Haiku.
