Why do the Germans at least get Hugo Boss out of their fascism times and we get these clown-faced, coke-eyed, ill-fitting-clothes-wearing baseball-cap ruiners?

So should a freshly cut rose in a old vase
A grey incense
A tanka

From an editorial standpoint, haibun is the worst. There are so many haibun with incredible, amazing prose-- and a recap poem tacked on at the end. Or a decent piece of descriptive writing elevated by a gorgeous poem. And it's so heartbreaking to have to scratch them off my list.
