俳句金 [はいくきん]
Call me Alanna.
As you can see from my own examples, I myself still have a lot to learn about haiku. But, I am improving! (I've even managed to win a few gold trophies, now!)
I'm also taking Myron-sensei's beginner haiku class (currently on hold).

Here are some great columns to read if you are not familiar with haiku, or have been misled, as I once was, by the erroneous teaching that all a haiku need be is 17 syllables in the 5-7-5 format. They are all written by my talented senpai, haikumonk.

And columns that *everyone* should read, regardless of what style of poetry they write:

These are my non-trophy favourites, in alphabetical order. I'd love to hear your opinions, too!
afternoon walk | barbed wire | cool breeze | drop by drop | garden path | hanami begins |
he sings | lightning flashes | mothers shop | skyscrapers | steeple touches |
sunlight streams | the sun's warmth | two friends | walking | white and black combine
[ wise words ]
It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.
