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

hover flies and mountain ash
hover flies
the joy
