The Living Haiku Anthology

A new, exciting Project in the Haiku world!

The Living Haiku Anthology aims to bring “a multicultural voice of haiku to the general public,” its mission being “to provide numerous and varied haiku, free of charge, to readers from all over the world including schools of education at all levels.” The Anthology team is collecting and documenting many of the finest haiku (and living poets) today. So what an honour and pleasure to be included in it. Please visit and browse the poets and poetry in it. You will find an index of poets here 
And while you are visiting, don’t forget to take a look at my haiku too. They can be found by clicking here

‘after harvest moon’ #21 September 2013

after harvest moon                                             nach dem Erntemond
how quickly the apples turn                                wie rasch die Äpfel
into juice                                                              zu Saft werden

I spent this morning making apple juice. Well, not exactly! Driving the apples to the
Gardeners’ Association in Fischach, to be made into juice, I mean!
Here is the process:
