how many
become one
sound of rain

Thanks for sharing!

Also enjoyed the monoku. :-)

Thanks! Admittedly, I've been in a bit of a drought re: sending haiku, tanka, and haibun to journals. I did send a submission to Frogpond recently, and will send off a haibun submission perhaps to Prune Juice or Haibun Today in the near future. : )

[haikutec]

That's great!

I've been quiet of late as I'm focusing on different aspects of Call of the Page, and so there's a lot happening behind the scenes!
We've also been running a lot of shahai and haiku courses, which I love, and my time and energy has to go there first.

All the best for your various submissions!

Alan
