Insomnia

Four a.m.--- from my
Window I watch the broken
Streetlight flicker out

Hi Marcia

Glad to see you are up and posting again.

I have two questions re your haiku - what (apart from the 5/7/5 structure) is lost if it were changed to:

Four a.m.
the broken streetlight
flickers out

And what might be gained?

Best wishes

Hello,

I'm looking for about two to four haiku poets who would like to work in a private online group to perfect our haiku and senryu. We would have our own person journal of published haiku from the entire year. I really like the idea of The Skipping Stones, and that is what sparked my interest in a group.

However, I'm looking for haiku poets around my age. I hope to work with a small group of friends for a good while, so I'm not really looking for somebody who's really old. The age of fifty and below is cool but thirty below is even better. I'm only twenty-two, a young haiku poet. I hope that doesn't offend any of you.

Thanks,
Dustin Neal
