lilting moonlit arms -
susuki grass swayed

There’s no one way to write haiku, but if there is one line that can be traced through this multi-cultural art form–it’s community.

In addition to poetry and prompts, @annemorrigan.bsky.social does community right. The proof in the pudding is her latest anthology. Check it out for yourself!

Amid beechen green,
summer sings o'er
the Vale of Health.

Long gone,
but echoing still -
light-winged song.

Dreams passing on,
soft incense drifts
through the boughs.

Yesterday, I went to visit the Sekiguchi Basho-an.

Along this road
Goes no one,
This autumn eve.
