Tearing at her eyes and dress.

I think I may have a little writers block where my haiku is concerned, and have come to believe that writing haiku is more difficult than I at first thought. I did real well, at first, I think it may have been that it was summer. That is my favorite season, I love summer, and I was looking forward to a weekend vacation in the Texas Hill Country. As well, I had spent quite sometime on the beach...
Ashes my burnt hut..
But wonderful the cherry
Blooming on my hill.

Out of practice and
Short on time I am forced
To make Haiku rhyme.

Thank you!
Id just like to take the time to thank great people, linguists, and authors, like Peter Beilenson, Cid Corman, and Robert Bly; who have taken the time to translate some of the Japanese Haiku Poets works.
