  even the green grass
  aflame with golden sunshine
  is dulled by suburb’s sameness

  but sometimes sameness
  is in the city as well -
  handmade burbias

  Question -

  How does this read…

  in a sought after

  cluster home community -

  icy ponds and bears

  Not the same, no? I just realized my haiku today is 5 - 7 -7. The horror, I know. But a philosophical haiku question. What to do?

  Ah, well. Happens to the best of us.

  More than once, I have typed in a haiku, then got off, rethought it and realized I made a counting mistake.

  To miscount haiku,
  An American haiku,
  Is a sin itself!

  Can I be totally selfish for just a minute? I know this is such an un “good friend” thing to say, but ….

  I’m so glad it was you and not me! I was absolutely sure that I was going to be the first one to mess up a count!

  I am liking your haiku guilt, however. Again, what’s up with all your angst?

  That’s okay, I was angsty yesterday but now I am feeling a lot of haiku acceptance.

  Angsty? The economy, too much Barney, etc. But mostly “angst” just happens to be one of my favorite words, up there with “persnickety”.

  Persnickety. Now that’s a good word!

  I like the word “keen.”

  I’m keen on chocolate.

  Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of haiku with the words “ebb” and “chrysanthemum”? Those are really good words, too. I’m keen to write a chrysanthemum haiku, someday….
