DP,
I enjoyed all of these very much! They all communicate experience. There is no intrusion of the writer (no use of the pronoun 'I' or 'you' or 'they'. The last line on the last haiku has 6 syllables instead of 5, but other than that blip I think they're all VERY NICE! .Bill!

Here are a few of mine. Clouds claw at the sun blackgrey smothers the blue sky cool wind on the way. Halfway to the goal red shirt runs up to the post shrieks of victory. Pink helmet blue dress locking bicycle in place new age commuter. Rain falls on the ground everywhere in glossy pools good day to be a duck. --- In Zen_Forum@yahoogroups.com <mailto:Zen_Forum%40yahoogroups.com> , <billsm...@...> wrote: > > DP, > > > > Occasionally, > > I put fingers to keyboard, > > And create Haiku. > > > > And you?
