Round 13 – Haiku Bob: No Demons

 

Dear Almanackers,

 

This week I fly to Japan to attend a haiku conference in the home of haiku, Matsuyama. I will give a presentation on Australian haiku and sit on a panel discussing haiku outside of Japan. I will try to slip in a Daicos haiku along the way!

 

Cheers,
HB.

 

 

 

 

bright sun today anyway no demons

 

 

crisp winter sun
the player who hardly gets a game
kicks a goal

 

 

catching
the shape of the wind
a snap from the pocket

 

 

moonrise Sidey’s speccy

 

 

waxing moon
closing in
on another win

 

 

baaaaaaaaallll!!!
the echoes
we make

 

 

every bellyacher
joins the chorus
magpie song

 

 

train home
choosing our goal
of the day
