Inspired by the latest long list of poems for the prompt at Haiku Dialogue on Music which I couldn’t come up with anything to respond to

Pleased to be included at Haiku Dialogue, thanks editor @dkarlbrandt.bsky.social. A wonderful selection of musical haiku. I was inspired by the lovely prompt by April Yang which led me back to Japan's marvellous 'Talking Drum' (1981).⬇️

So proud of my friend Deborah Karl-Brandt @dkarlbrandt.bsky.social for winning The 6th Star Haiku Contest
Overseas Grand prize!!! BRAVO!

Mind you, the poem has been previously rejected by a big Western journal ...

I’m beyond honored that my poem received an honorable mention in The Haiku Foundation’s Monthly Kukai for September, with the theme of “Pink”. Thanks so much to Beverly Acuff Momoi for her thoughtful commentary. To read the winning poems, click on the link.

A text based image of the poem. The poem reads

bubblegum pink
steadying the bicycle

What an enjoyable podcast the latest @thepoetrypea.bsky.social Creepy Crawlies in Haiku & Senryu is. Many intriguing ways of looking at insects, spiders and similar critters. Here's my little monoku:-
