HAIKU DIALOGUE – World of Animals – Domestic Creatures (Pets and More) – long list - The Haiku Foundation

Thanks to The Haiku Foundation for publishing my animal haiku in this list of gems.

❤️ He has only recently started writing poetry regularly again and sending it out, and I’m so glad.

Loved reading this poem by my dad in the winter issue of Prudence Dispatch. prudencedispatch.com

“Felix is eight years old, and I have no idea how to keep him safe in this world. When a child’s gravity inverts the family has two choices…”

Wow, this story is bursting with imagination and beauty.

Thanks so much,Timothy! Super new to writing haiku and learning so much from others (I fell into it through microfiction and I’m also fascinated by hybrid forms like haibun).

I was *just* thinking about this song! And remembering seeing Silverchair in Toronto — my first concert.

Love this one too, Timothy. Such a vivid, energetic slice of youth—a micro on the move! (An aside, but I’m also primed to enjoy even casual mentions of Bono and Toronto — first saw U2 in TO in college days. 🕶️)
