Thanks for sharing your poems, Duncan. I have already commented on the second one. I am afraid I don't have a lot to say about the other two except this: the bedst haiku usually present a particular experience or scene, whereas these two are more generalized than particular. You might try to write about particular experiences you have had and then paint the picture so it puts the reader there with you to share the experience. Hope this helps! Lee

how to get through the day?
elementary, my dear Watson!
a six-pipe problem

the ball I lost
from the tee turns up
in the hole

wretched I
