Under the Bashō tree collecting leaves

I got two notes today from haiku masters, Kala Ramesh and Hansha Teki. The first to say that they would publish a couple of my haiku in Under the Basho, the second to say it was done. That's swift.


Is writing haiku a valid exercise in this bad dream we're living in right now? A dream that you want to wake up from but just can't.  Writers and readers all need a bit of quiet and solace, a zen garden of few words to rest in. So yes, more haiku, hopefully beautiful.
