I've deactivated all my 'Coffee and Haiku' social profiles except this one on BlueSky. I am feeling good. Let's see if deactivating them was also part of the instant-gratification cycle the newage internet has made us slaves of, or if this change sets in and I'll let it become permanent.
SOS pill...ow ow ow my head!
Pan Haiku Review 7 will be out later this Autumn!
I am announcing an award for #monostich #haiku aka #monoku in the edition. There will be a first recipient, or recipients! 2027 Pan Haiku Review will be an ALL one-line haiku edition and 2027 Monostich Haiku Awards will be a big feature.
It's that time of the week when I write a poem about a headache.
unexpected guests...
i don't beat around the bush
with my headache

Some notes on the haiku: coffeeandhaiku.in/curbside-ent...
I'm this month's guest editor for the thinkALONG weekly feature on 'Triveni Haikai India' (all things haikai, including a haikai journal) and I chose @wolftwinthomas.bsky.social's deeply moving #haiku as an inspiration for the haikai poets over there
Thank you for the feature @sbwrightpoet.bsky.social ! Always a good feeling to be on Fallen Petals.

(heaven--stars are not gentle/kind things)
It is and it should be. 😁
A #haiku
I quite like the title. Is there a recognized Japanese haikai form that's just title + haiku?
