ceased wind -
one leaf not yet reached

I got one point too, tikkis. Haiku is its own reward.

The soul's wind; blowing out the this perilous flame; in final rest.

__And to agree with Bill... no one needs an award for haiku that they have written; re-reading, and others reading as you have written, is its own reward. _m

Shiki haikus, I think, are nowadays somewhat different they were 2000 or around? There are also quite many haiku today!


To earn one point from those, more than 100 different haiku is not bad?

Sametimes there are several very good haiku, too. Depending of course anyone's own taste...

Is a short text a formal haiku or a senryu, that's also a Q.

During this autumn and now winter I have not wrote so many short poems. Perhaps due to working too much with our trade union? I'm still working with our Finnish Radio Officer's Union. Taking too much my ideas?

So, Bill, Magyar and Maurice: Thanks you too are alive!
