Okay, this is not a hill I want to die on. I'm sure you would agree that just because you haven't heard it in the UK doesn't mean it is never said there. Cheerio!

Today, yes TODAY, begins Surrealism II on Haiku Dialogue. The guest editor is me (Lafcadio). Please visit and write a surreal haiku/senryu based on a painting by Remedios Varo. Looking forward to seeing you there!

For those who don't know her you should...Pippa @pippaesque.bsky.social. Such a talented poet. Over the years I have learned so much from her. Below are haiku bracelets she made for me with one of my favorite poems.

Check out her bracelets and mini chapbooks here:

green heron
perched gracefully
in the marsh
how long for me to feel
welcome in my own soul

road trip
rushing past the trees
so fast
we will be back home
and life will be as it was
