One thing I enjoy through #CompleteTheHaiga is the collaboration of my drawing with the poet and finally the audience. Even with my work that is not under Complete the Haiga, I am sparse with color and exact details as I want my drawings to pull the moment from the viewer.

So, I have been running a very ragtag poetry workshop group, and I am considering opening it up to everyone who might be interested in submitting to Prune Juice. Anyone interested?

I'm a hollow tree this night.
Defiant to the moon.
Bare.
Where is Spring in me?
Where the heart of these woods?
