February Challenge

Ok, I am a very new writer of haiku, dare I say haiku poet, and so maybe it is presumptuous of me, but I'm joining the February challenge from NaHaiWriMo to write a new haiku each day of the month.  So here is my first one.  I even posted it on the NaHaiWriMo Facebook page, which was very scary for me.  Enjoy!

    Hi Daphne,

    Well done for giving NaHaiWriMo a go! ;-)

    I've been writing and studying haiku for nearly 20 years and I was nervous committing myself to it. ;-)

    This weblink giving a simple overview of haiku has been much praised by North American, and Japanese writers of haiku.

    In fact, Keiko Izawa said she learnt English-language haiku from studying the website, high praise indeed!

    What is haiku? weblink

    all my very best,

    Alan, With Words

    Thanks, Alan. I hope I get to write and study haiku for 20 years even with my late start! And thanks for the weblink--it is rich with information and very helpful indeed. Have a great day!
