My youngest brother died in 1979, long before I discovered haiku. I wrote this recently:
summer sky
that cloud looks like

fragrant notes pulling me

my fallen beignet
some pigeon's prize
daysleeper
prize fighters
two plastic robots
toe to toe

If you have a smart phone or I-pod touch and have not done this yet, re-direct to the THF main page and get the haiku app. What a great way to read great haiku on lunch or break, and it's free!

Sea Shell Game / Re: Sea Shell game 2

the word god being eaten by a field of robins Scott Metz
The visual aspect of a field robins feeding on something is compelling, but to me the phrase 'the word god' is very enigmatic. At first I read it as 'worm god', until my second reading. As Vida said, it does have religious undertones. Is this the word (of) god, the bible? Jesus himself is referred to as the word in John 1:1. Is this a reference to him? In either case I struggle with this because of my own beliefs. But another interpretation could be that this is the word's god. What would be god to a word? A dictionary? Maybe instead of a bible in the field being eaten by robins it is a dictionary?
say it so it sounds like starling she says Chris Gordon
I love the alliteration of this one. Read quickly it is close to being a tongue twister. Read more slowly it has a rhythmic, melodic quality to it. It is playful and when I read it I can see her as she leans close and whispers in her lovers ear, 'say it so it sound like starling'.
My vote goes to Chris

« on: November 05, 2011, 03:09:19 PM »
Alan, John thanks for the good advice. Alan, thank you for the links, the deja-ku article is good. John, I think your reply is a good rule to go by. Just to let you know, I wasn't seriously considering doing this although the thought did briefly cross my mind. That just made me wonder how different they should be. Again, thank you both, I appreciate your guidance.

In-Depth Haiku: Free Discussion Area / under consideration by another publication
« on: November 05, 2011, 08:03:08 AM »
I recently posted a haiku with a revision:
still morning
two leaves fall
in unison
still morning
two leaves fall
together
I am wondering how different two haiku should be in order to not be considered under consideration by another publication if submitted to two journals? How different should they be in order to simultaneously submit them to different publications?
