vine tomatoes that hang
like vowels
with no language in common

What is haiku?  March 2009

i have decided to post here (mostly) published pieces and advice of publication comes through in dribs and drabs – but I dont post until i have the link and it is actually published  which makes it slow going … I am currently doing collages which is as much a struggle as poetry is (but its supposed to be a struggle isnt it ?) …

see the artworks (and some photography days that keeps the art ticking over) …

and in the search for great reading i come to this site on tanka often … ENJOY

this one started as an haiku …
