Looking for punditry? Keeping scrolling down the page (check
this update, if you’re wondering about goombahs and Scalias),
and come back later. Right now, I need to enjoy a gorgeous
upstate New York spring day.
experience with one-breath poetry:
a red berry on the trail
I look up
to the chickadee’s song
first on the trail—
the pull of a spider’s strand
across my face
a switch-back
in the trail—
I glance at her face
a climbing pea
has lassoed a blade
of crab grass!
trail dust settles—
a shooting star bobs
over a spider’s turret
a mushroom cap
tilting in the sun—
I feel for my bald spot
new shoots
on the big-leaf maple—
how blue the sky, how blue
“welchSeal32″
lit by the sunset
waves along the shore
rolling the seal’s body

a grown man actually has the nerve to call
himself “captain haiku?” he deserves alot
of credit for something, but i’m not sure
what.

You got up on the grumpy side of bed again, I see, Sylvain. Did you click on the link to check out Michael’s Captain Haiku website? He created a persona to bring a little fun into the often too-serious and self-important world of haiku, while setting up a very informative website in 1997.
Of course, Michael Dylan Welch does not need me to explain his many contributions to the world of haiku.
