i should have told you.
the betrayal cuts me deep
as i remember.
... and occasional Tanka... and Haibun. Started after a competition on the unbound.co.uk blog (see #1 and #2). Mostly actually senryu , I think. This year attempting to publish a Haiku every day - 365 Haiku a Day. For good or for ill, I always aim to stick rigidly to a 5-7-5 structure - forgive me if I have counted the syllables wrong, often they are how I have said, or thought, them in my head rather than their official number.
i need to defeat
myself every single day,
especially on
interview days like this one -
have to wrestle back control.
the secret is said:
never mention the black stripe,
it confuses things:
they cannot see the unseen,
or two sides at the same time.
