No, I’m not talking about John Kerry’s debate answers, the size of the Tax Code, or even

the myth of the 17-syllable haiku.  It’s f/k/a’s own punditry, which lately has not even come

close to the one-breath promise made to ourselves and our readers.  Fighting my own proclivity

to prolixity will not be easy.  But, I’m going to try harder.  If you wanted wind-bag punditry, you’d

go elsewhere [links omitted to protect the guilty].

 

                                                                     

Let’s get back to priority #1 — good haiku.  Here are two from teacher-poet Tom Painting:

 

fallen leaves

the child in her

gives a kick

 

 

pickup truck

an old retriever

laps the wind
