Haiku



Some people contend
that haiku are stilted. Yes,
I have to agree

But poets will say
that to contemplate nature
enriches us all....

Empire Diner a Dove and a Poem




as burgeoning spring
demands poetic response
we bloggers will sing

The other day Tracy wrote that she had bought a book of haiku. Willow has been celebrating poetry month. The whole blogosphere is awash with poets and writers. An idea: Tracy and I thought Monday May 11th might be a good day for lots of us to post small blog- sized snippets of joy or wisdom or merely fun. Pictures too.....
She made this beautiful image to go with the idea.
Our friends in the Antipodes haven't got spring of course, but they have melancholy and equally poetic autumn. If you let me or Tracy know we can add you to a list, but this isn't necessary.


The Empire Diner, a real classic. Corner of 9th Avenue and 22nd Street.
