I hope you enjoy it. I tend to enjoy English haiku more than I do Japanese haiku.
This is my favorite poem at the moment, penned by Susan Constable-

shades of blue
the deer's remaining eye
cradled by bone

Chase, is it alright if I let Susan know her ku is your current favourite? I know she would be delighted to hear it.

warmest,
John

okay :) i am a big fan of hers, and that poem is simply amazing.
Her ku should have placed second or first in the Robert Spiess contest, not third.
