There is something whimsical and soothing about Japanese poetry, I find.
Reading it is like a refreshing cool breeze that gently stirs the still waters of ones soul…
It makes me smile dreamily, and always buoys my mood (Bit like sex.:) )
David have you ever thought of publishing these poems? I’d be the first to buy your book. Of course I WOULD insist on a personally autographed copy. 😉

Gee David, just love your poems, and haiku’s
.Have always loved Japanese Haiku’s and poetry. Chinese poetry too. Have a book of Japanese poetry compiled by renowned translator Kenneth Rexroth.

Thanks Kathy. I’ll read that article. This is a good place to get a random haiku:

As for publishing, well, they are here on the Internet, for free.
Svar, I wrote one for you.
