Haiku speak is out
Still haiku verses rule.
Baaaddd. Glad you did this though -- I have a book of haiku by Jack Kerouac -- yeah THE Kerouac -- and I've not explored it yet.
yeah i noticed Kerouac had a book of haiku when i was searching for things to add to the group bookshelf. Sounds really intriguing! please post about it when you read it - I'd love to hear what you think.
I'm so glad both of you could join. :) silly haikuing on one's own just isn't as good.

Welcome? yes, of course!

name is Mr. Ed. ;)
(no offense intended, Ed)

books that mean a quiet day
and a warm lap
...
catch a quick moment
with words colorful and brief -
the skill escapes me!
But I'm still excited about the group!
Glad you're here Erin! Your haiku goes well with your avatar. Very cute puppy! :) what's its name if I may ask? I have a thing for naming my pets after literary characters.

sounds like a very cool dog! My sister has a beagle named Molly. Her Molly has never expressed any excitement about books like yours has though. That's so cute! :)
I named my dog after a powerful and fearless sorceress, and it turns out she's about as meek as they come. Good dog though.

I was also just thinking - Bush Sr has (had?) a springer spaniel that 'wrote' a book (Millie's Book). I remember reading it when I was younger. Must be something about springers and books. I thought its name was Mollie too, but it's Millie (close!).

Poetry can be fun, no
more A.P. English
But seriously, this has been a lot of fun for someone who isn't into poetry much.
Thanks so much Meghan!
Glad you're enjoying your stay
Please don't go away.
yeah I'm not much good at doing any other kind of poetry myself. I kind of think of haiku as poetry lite in some respects. Short, simple, and easy. Poetry in general really interests me quite a bit, I'm just no good at the more difficult stuff. I read a good book on the subject recently, The Ode Less Travelled, but still I suck at putting a respectable poem together.

I went looking for him here
I am, in such awe!
Lol, I had to try, but it's always harder than you think. I joined an Issa email group awhile back, one haiku a day. It's amazing. I just joined GR today and stumbled on this group. I'm amused, so I'll be back.
^^

Thank you,
Ryan
A haiku is one breath
I am asthmatic, so mine
Might be shorter.

Haiku speak is just
optional, but can be fun -
