the beggar
ignores the priest
and asks me
Here I record my own efforts at haiku, senryu and other short form poetry. I also provide a resources page and other comment on haiku. You can find some of my published haiku on the Living Haiku Anthology (https://preview.tinyurl.com/y88hqva7) and the Haiku Foundation Haiku Registry (https://preview.tinyurl.com/y9p2ahnl) - Roger Watson

The beggar
the sleeping beggar
hears my two yuan notes
fall into her bowl
****
waking
my two yuan notes in her bowl
the sleeping beggar
****
my two yuan notes
in her bowl
wakens the sleeping beggar
****
waking the sleeping beggar
in her bowl
my two yuan notes
****
waking the sleeping beggar
my two yuan notes
in her bowl
****
my two yuan notes
fall into the begging bowl
and waken her

how much better than me
they all know her

Found haiku:
Three ‘haiku moments’:
Unconscious transition from the balcony to the rock outside. (p16)
Suddenly the man crosses the orchard to the seawall. (p28)
...from the darkness of the cliff-edge above us a fir-cone falls. (p35)*
