Michele’s Musings

We have missed you all so much! We hope your summer has been a restful, enjoyable time filled with many haiku moments.

Both Sally and I have found it is taking longer than usual for us to recover from our holidays – Sally to a family reunion in rural Alberta, and Michele and Frithjof to a historic site in northern British Columbia!

So today’s issue is a shortened version. We didn’t want the people who had submitted to wait any longer!
We will be back in two weeks in full form!

This Week’s Prompt

Prompt Write us your funniest haiku or senryu! Watch this great video from Poetry Pea on what a senryu is all about.

Send one or two haiku to sally_quon@yahoo.com or to Michele at kelownalady@hotmail.com. Find our full submission info here. Don’t forget to tell us where you are writing from!

“Haiku sounds like I’m Saying hi to someone named Ku. Hi, Ku. Hello.”
