"Nature half-writes the haiku before we've even put pen to paper. Become a co-poet with nature."

A surprise visit from a famous American haiku poet is possibly on the cards! ;-)

all my best,

Alan

I'm really looking forward to this, and hope some Welsh or English poets do come along.

Also present at the walk is the wonderful Paul Smith, one of England's finest tanka writers, if any of you haiku poets are interested in that form too. ;-)
