f/k/a archives . . . real opinions & real haiku

Demonstrating his typical excess, dagosan decided

to start two daily weblogs today.  In addition to

dagosan’s haiku diary, he’s launched simply senryu,

describing it as:

david giacalone’s daily look at the foibles

and ironies of human nature, using poems

structured like haiku and called “senryu”

As we said earlier this evening, when announcing his

haiku diary, you’re encouraged to visit simply senryu for

a daily dollop of senryu.  Please do not expect dagosan

to punch a clock — he posts whenever the Muse has done

her work.  For your convience, there’s a link to simply senryu 

in our Sidebar.

Editors of haiku journals who do not wish to

see new dagosan (david giacalone) poems before they

are submitted for possible publication, should probably

avoid dagosan’s haiku diary and simply senryu . 

Everybody else should stop by often.

  Don’t forget there’s a Thanksgiving gift for all our

visitors — haiku brochures from dagosan.

 

Our post yesterday about the blossoming of daily haiku weblogs

inspired dagosan to start one of his own today.  

 

  If you have liked his work here, you’re encouraged to

visit dagosan’s haiku diary for a new haiku each day.  As at f/k/a,

do not expect dagosan to punch a clock — he posts when the Muse

has done her work.  For future use, you’ll find a link to dhd in our Sidebar.

 

From now on, the daily dagosan feature here

at f/k/a will showcase his vintage/select/classic

[older] works.

 

  Editors of haiku journals who do not wish to

see new dagosan (david giacalone) haiku before they

are submitted for possible publication, should probably

avoid dagosan’s haiku diary.  Everybody else should

come early and often.

potluck

  Got holiday agita?   Somebody with post-Thanksgiving

indigestion had this query how to remove gas pain?> for

Yahoo! Search.   Of the 3 million results, the first two were

for the f/k/a post “gas pain?”   Sadly, they won’t get much

relief there, unless they’re worried about high gas prices or 

getting better mileage. 

 

 

Sunday morning

looking up the word

from my dream

 

 

 

 

 

 

     deadline approaches

  my nose drips

faster

 

 

 

“waspg”

 

 

 

 

stifled laugh:

   a November wasp

      rousing itself

 

 

 

 

revising poems,

a third cup of tea

from the same bag
