Susan and Jennifer at One Deep Breath have been prompting short poems for a year now and organizing a weekly carnival of entries to read. Congrats ladies.
The challenge this week is Poet’s Choice — pick any theme you missed, do a rerun of best of your own, introduce one of your favorites from another haikuist, or surprise with any post of quiet tanka, Fibonacci, senryu, haibun, haiga, or haiku moment.
I take Week 53, the prompt of architecture for one and, following that, the work of another.

A haiku from Haiku World: An international Poetry Almanac, from the Summer poems, p. 153, a piece by Radu Dumitru of Romania.

The same thirst.
Lastly, want to do a Questionnaire for Haiku Poets? It’s for Philip Rowland who is going to talk at Haiku North America 2007.
Thanks for the blog link and also for the quote from Haiku World. Although I have the book, for whatever reason, I hadn’t noticed this particular haiku before. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Pearl, “stone parasol” was fantastic and the other was a great find.

Your haiku is beautiful, and so is the borrowed one! Like you saw, I just discovered this artform and love it!
Now, let me ask you this: how many blogs do you have?! You never cease to impress… 😉

Both of these a good! (The first puts me in mind of Grand Central Station here in New York City.) Thanks for sharing them.
I adore the stone parasol imagery. And your borrowed poem is divine.
