Kate MacQueen and Peter Rennick: Wednesday Haiku, Week, #35




Wednesday Haiku, Week #34



smile lines
beneath the sad years
crocuses
Kate MacQueen








singing to the tulips
the child bows
the tulips bow back
Peter Rennick














bowing his head
in the scattering blossoms...
frog
Issa
translated by David G. Lanoue





best,
Don

    Don, so pleased to be at the starting gate of the new run of double feature Wednesday Haiku. The pairing with Peter's poem is perfect (in my perhaps not-humble opinion). Alliteratively your's, Kate

    As for Ms McQueen's poem, wonderful use of allusion and metaphor. Creates a sense of beauty even as the season passes beyond.

    Rennick reinvigorate's with the image of youth and innocence -hearkening back to our youth.

    Nice poems and complementary editing choices. Well done all.

    Thanks, Charles ...

    Mark, thank you, also.

    Kate, I'm glad you are happy about how things worked out. The pairing is serendipitous - which often causes the most sparks - as I'm still going chronologically. That may change as I get caught up.

    Bandit, very happy you liked the poems. See my answer to Kate re: serendipity.

    Woodland Rose, thanks. Don
