The temperatures spike in the daytime and plummet at night such that, even on a starry night, a remaining warmth will startle the icy blanket of snow—strange days and stranger nights.

Snowballs
As I drove into work today, I saw some children at play. And now while I’m having a bite to eat, couldn’t resist this quick little diversion before I get back to the very serious business of haiku.

I understand that Basho, Buson and the others would often paraphrase Buddhist texts and sayings in their own haiku. When my appointed hour comes, I know Issa will defend me, or at least the poet Senryū Karai.

Was supposed to be doing something else, then became immersed. Stoked the woodstove. Read some from my Peanuts comic books, then studied haiku, Basho’s and modern haiku, and then heard my wife’s footsteps at the back door after a long night out.

- We both had to take lunch. Not technically a haiku. Guess I’d call this a senryu.
Furuike ya!
