the puppy sans mask
visitors at my gate with -
a bottle of wine
Haiku approached me while i was reading an extramural course in Communications at The University of The West Indies in St Augustine Trinidad. It was very much like the surprise visit my brother and his sooo cute puppy gave me a day last week. A surprise bearing gifts.
I accepted the gift of haiku, which i thought was amazing - a poem only 3 lines with a count of syllables restriction! I laid it aside, much like the bottle of wine i have still in the fridge to open some another time at my whim.
And then, when i bought my first computer in the late '90s, i deceided then, that's what i'm gonna do! Research, revitalize and make this my new hobby. And so i began writing haiku. First joining yahoo groups, then moving with my group haiku friends into Facebook and into blogsphere. So here i am folks.
