I do love your perception of events. These are actualy my first and only attempts at haiku until the recent ones you have seen. They were written for poetry class. I can't remember which came first, the book or these haiku, but I can't write a haiku without thinking about the book and the person who gave it to me. Kate Samuels gave me her copy of the book "Haiku In English" and I'm holding it in one hand right now. I'll say no more.
