Commitment
written for Missy's Self-love Haiku Comp
New Pond leaders are needed.
Due to the fact that I do not have the "tech no how" to properly run this beautiful pond I have informed Admin of my resignation as Director and suggested that Jade-Pandora and Ahavati take over the role together. I will be staying on as a member and contributor because I sincerely believe that "The Haiku Pond" is a wonderful place to throw a little ink.
Peace to all...Harry

Haiku from some modern haijun masters.
rain cleared-
for a while the wild rose's
fragrance
Takahama Kyoshi
stuck in a vase
deep mountain magnolia
blossom opens
Mizuhara Shuoshi
spring moon;
ferns uncurling between
the river rocks
Lorraine Ellis Harr
still damp
earth
the unglazed bowl
Peggy Willis Lyles
across the meadow
the slow moving tongues
of grazing cows
Piet Zandboer
the ground echoes
yet another rice track
collapsing in rain
Izumie Sumie
and finally, one of favorite haiku by Matsuo Basho himself.

a raven has perched-
