Renga #2 ...commitment...

            I    
time borrowed    
for another year ...credit    
...still good    
   
           II    
   
two kittens...  
round my ankles    
softly winding    
   
          III    
   
appreciate today
tomorrow...  
still theory    
   
          IV    
   
bite my tongue    
make decision...wiser    
not to speak    
   
          V    
   
to see our    
Tamarind tree bloom    
with you...

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.

on a barren branch
a raven has perched-
autumn dusk
