Day 3 Highlights
Day 3 was all about that funny little form the haiku. Some people complained; others moaned; but everyone took a shot (or even several shots) at writing this Japanese classic. Here are some of the pieces that made me stop and ponder.

Crescent moon at dawn
frosted blossoms bowing low
to the rising light

Scarlet clouds
drift over the sun.
Hawks snatch their prey.

Soaring hawk
On a cold blue morning
A mole’s destiny

Pitter-patter shore of flamenco

yellow jackets hum
hanging on old-barked branches
late for the party

Girls in the driveway
hopping up and down, twirling,
above white clouds dance.

Flaming trees herald
the last drunken flight of butterflies
before the first frost

Two trails through cracked leaves.
Light and twigs cast chickenscratch
Warmly on two trails.
