wrong trail turn
the scent and sight
of wildflowers


Tagalog version

maling daan
bango at tanawin
ligaw na mga bulaklak

Dear Alan,

Thank you very much for inviting me here. I lost track of the other group - is this a continuation?

Anyway, I just thought of posting a bilingual haiku because I haven't heared anything anymore about Lishanu (whatever happened to it).

Expect me to post from time to time.

Warm regards,

Vic

Dear Vic,

Yes, in many ways it is a continuation, sometimes with different people creating the blog, and different members, but basically celebrating the current season through haiku, other haikai literature, tanka etc...

Welcome aboard! ;-)

I noticed that Norman Darlington's Lishanu site has a copyright notice into 2008 so why not drop Norman a line?
Lishanu bilingual haiku website

I believe he is also pretty active on Haikutalk2 as well.

Looking forward to more posts! ;-)


all my best,
Alan
