The initial draft (which was posted to the email group) was:<BR/><BR/>children dig for<BR/>what's been buried<BR/>dream fragment<BR/><BR/>As you may note in my answer to Charline about this 'ku, I feel sort of "clever" for "sneaking" in an implied metaphor in the new version. LOL! <BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting.Roswilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15669275952943509399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25737357.post-1154335182872257772006-07-31T01:39:00.000-07:002006-07-31T01:39:00.000-07:00Hi Charline,Ah, I'm glad you are "feeling" my drea...Hi Charline,<BR/><BR/>Ah, I'm glad you are "feeling" my dream haiku. I certainly accept that they are rather, shall I say, "different animals" as haiku go. <BR/><BR/>The one you like is a really old one of mine and I confess to a particular fondness for it myself. Especially as I think I may have "gotten away" (LOL) with an implied metaphor (something not done in haiku all that much, as you probably know). :-)Roswilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15669275952943509399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25737357.post-1154302548978952732006-07-30T16:35:00.000-07:002006-07-30T16:35:00.000-07:00I AM GETTING THE FEEL OF THE DREAM HAIKU NOW -I TH...I AM GETTING THE FEEL OF THE DREAM HAIKU NOW -I THINK.

A fragment of imagination; a piece of the truth; one part of the All.<BR/><BR/>But 'shard' is such a strong word compared to these.<BR/><BR/>Of course, so often the archaeologist digs, and only finds shards of pottery. But that mundane aspect to this poem doesn't change the vividness of this image and all that it conjures in the reader's thoughts.<BR/><BR/>Lovely ku.<BR/><BR/>oinoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
