Where can I find mushrooms, some of my readers have been asking me. A strange question, especially since I am allergic to mushrooms. I think they may have been smelling Melissa Allen’s mushroom garden, across the haikuverse. If you too are interested in mushrooms, you are invited to visit and even pick some. Please scroll down to find mine! The link? Here it is
Melissa Allen, of ‘Red Dragonfly‘ featured my haiku ‘tomato’ and ‘silkworm’ in her regular column Across the Haikuverse, No. 20 and No. 21 editions, respectively. An honour to be included there. What more could a haijin want?
Haiku buzz: My haiku came 6th and 7th in the Sketchbook Kukai (peer-judged contest) in the May/June 2011 issue. Sketchbook is a ‘Journal for Eastern and Western Short Forms.’ I am very pleased with the result; this was my first ever kukai! Watch this space…
Two of my haiku on the thread ‘Vegetables’ set by the editors of Sketchbook magazine, were picked, together with others, to be featured in the Editor’s Choice haiku thread. They were also featured in the Guest Editor’s Choice, of the same edition. You can read the haiku in my blog here.
