f/k/a . . .

Yes, f/k/a is way behind schedule today.   dagosan spent several hours

sharing excellent dim sum and conversation at the Tai Pan Restuarant, in

Halfmoon, New York, with two wise and amiable haiku masters, Yu Chang

and John Stevenson.   Upon returning home, there was only one thing to

do: take a very long nap.  Next thing I knew, it was 9 PM.

 

  Sated and sleepy, I’m going to choose a pair of extra-tiny poems by

my two Honorable Hosts, and then present an oldie by dagosan that John and

Yu helped improve (and shorten) over lunch.   I hope your mid-July Saturday

was as pleasant as mine. 

 

 

dew drops

I count

my blessings

 

 

leafing out

the sway

of the willow

green grass

my hopes

just so high

 

 

 

 

 

summer

in the sun

in your room
