Editor's Haiku Choices
Slug trail on the porch . . .
Now, I understand my life
David H. Rosen, USA
As my Editor’s Choice, I've selected this deceptively plain haiku by David H. Rosen, as a fine example of what the haiku genre
is about, man and nature.
David's haiku is an equilibrium which contains feelings of uncertainty and hints of self-mockery, seemingly a somewhat
despondent and detached description of his own life, as well as the unfathomable beauty he perceived in the slug’s silver trail, as
a metaphor for one’s own legacy. A crafty comparison of a natural phenomenon to both the plight and the blessings of mankind .
. . what scholarly scope!
I realize that poetry is a "living art form" and will always be evolving forward or reverting back full circle.Therefore the gift to
be simple and stick to it when everyone around you is experimenting by pushing the boundaries, and trying to come off as a
complex intellectual, is a difficult path.

http://www.kernelsonline.com/haiku133.html

Page 11 of 12

David is a complex intellectual which is why I believe he has already mastered simple. His moment reflects only the pureness
and simplicity of nature as it is, and states this clearly through mention of something as mundane as a slug, then he adds the
surprise juxtaposition.
My Editor's Choices are never based on the number of lines, since format to me has nothing to do with content, nor do I think a
kigo is mandatory, although I do believe that at least some "feeling" of the natural world is a must, as well as a setting, subject,
verb, and an aha, no matter in what order they appear.
Unfortunately, there are others out there today who are publishing "short poems" of any type or kind under the guise of haiku.
While this may be fine for mainstream poetry, imo, it's a whole different story when it comes to Japanese and eastern aesthetics.
David’s haiku is an exceptional example of "yugen".

~~~ ~~~
the calf roper's lasso
spinning overhead
summer clouds
Chad Lee Robinson, USA
For this EC, what great visuals! Haiku poet Chad Lee Robinson gives us a "lasso" in his opening line, we can see it "spinning
overhead" in line 2, but wait! in line 3 we are allowed to see "summer clouds" through that lasso. Keeping the haiku cohesive
throughout is an important point to its success. This haiku is more than words, it is a picture. However it isn't just a pretty picture,
it has a very definite wide setting, an interesting subject, an action verb, and surprise follow through. Nature is involved as well
as the human element. It has everything a haiku should have no matter if it was written years ago or just yesterday.

~~~ ~~~
summer night connecting the dots
John Soules, CAN
As I said, line formatting means nothing if everything is there, as-in this one-line haiku by John Soule from Canada. What do you
see as the setting, subject, verb, and aha? I can imagine a whole sky (wide setting) full of stars (subject) connected (verb) "dot by
dot" (aha), similar to a game some of us played as children. The fact that John left out any mention of stars is as skillful as it gets
in this zen-style (but not incomplete) haiku moment. A very well done haiku!

~~~ ~~~
falling leaves
my quilting scraps
lie in a new pattern
Frances Jones, USA
Another fine EC by Frances Jones from Oregon. What a superb example of absolute juxtaposition, a feeling of the natural world
plus human interface, who could ask for anything more? Frances mentions no colors, and yet you see them vividly in her new
quilt pattern.

~~~ ~~~
centered in his ripples bufflehead drake
Aron Rothstein, USA
A nice one-liner written by Aron Rothstein. Normally I would recommend to an author that he use "its" instead of "his" or "hers",
however with the last word being "drake", Aron reinforces the use of "his". The word "ripples" is the setting, "centered" is the
verb", "bufflehead drake" is the subject, and the zoom effect is notable. The "aha" in this haiku would be the wonderful
symmetry that the visuals create.

~~~ ~~~
outgoing tide

a barnacled pile
fingers the wind
James Chessing, USA
I chose this haiku by James because it is a fine example of how to skilfully use a hint of personification. I am totally against
blatant personification in any haiku, so this was a refreshing find.
The visuals of the pile of barnacles fingering the wind, is very powerful. The way James has used "fingers" as a verb, refers not
to the barnacle having fingers, rather it means that the "legs"( which they do have) of the barnacles "finger" the wind.
This haiku has a wide setting which is the "outgoing tide", an interesting subject of barnacles in a pile, an action verb correctly
placed on line three, and the follow through of "the wind". It has a syllable count of 4, 5, 4 which demonstrates how well a short,
long, short rhythm works.

Now, I understand my life David H. Rosen, USA As my Editor’s Choice, I've selected this deceptively plain haiku by David H. Rosen, as a fine example of what the haiku genre is about, man and nature. David's haiku is an equilibrium which contains feelings of uncertainty and hints of self-mockery, seemingly a somewhat despondent and detached description of his own life, as well as the unfathomable beauty he perceived in the slug’s silver trail, as a metaphor for one’s own legacy. A crafty comparison of a natural phenomenon to both the plight and the blessings of mankind . . . what scholarly scope! I realize that poetry is a "living art form" and will always be evolving forward or reverting back full circle.Therefore the gift to be simple and stick to it when everyone around you is experimenting by pushing the boundaries, and trying to come off as a complex intellectual, is a difficult path. http://www.kernelsonline.com/haiku133.html 1/3/2014
  • 11. haiku133 Page 11 of 12 David is a complex intellectual which is why I believe he has already mastered simple. His moment reflects only the pureness and simplicity of nature as it is, and states this clearly through mention of something as mundane as a slug, then he adds the surprise juxtaposition. My Editor's Choices are never based on the number of lines, since format to me has nothing to do with content, nor do I think a kigo is mandatory, although I do believe that at least some "feeling" of the natural world is a must, as well as a setting, subject, verb, and an aha, no matter in what order they appear. Unfortunately, there are others out there today who are publishing "short poems" of any type or kind under the guise of haiku. While this may be fine for mainstream poetry, imo, it's a whole different story when it comes to Japanese and eastern aesthetics. David’s haiku is an exceptional example of "yugen". ~~~ ~~~ the calf roper's lasso spinning overhead summer clouds Chad Lee Robinson, USA For this EC, what great visuals! Haiku poet Chad Lee Robinson gives us a "lasso" in his opening line, we can see it "spinning overhead" in line 2, but wait! in line 3 we are allowed to see "summer clouds" through that lasso. Keeping the haiku cohesive throughout is an important point to its success. This haiku is more than words, it is a picture. However it isn't just a pretty picture, it has a very definite wide setting, an interesting subject, an action verb, and surprise follow through. Nature is involved as well as the human element. It has everything a haiku should have no matter if it was written years ago or just yesterday. ~~~ ~~~ summer night connecting the dots John Soules, CAN As I said, line formatting means nothing if everything is there, as-in this one-line haiku by John Soule from Canada. What do you see as the setting, subject, verb, and aha? I can imagine a whole sky (wide setting) full of stars (subject) connected (verb) "dot by dot" (aha), similar to a game some of us played as children. The fact that John left out any mention of stars is as skillful as it gets in this zen-style (but not incomplete) haiku moment. A very well done haiku! ~~~ ~~~ falling leaves my quilting scraps lie in a new pattern Frances Jones, USA Another fine EC by Frances Jones from Oregon. What a superb example of absolute juxtaposition, a feeling of the natural world plus human interface, who could ask for anything more? Frances mentions no colors, and yet you see them vividly in her new quilt pattern. ~~~ ~~~ centered in his ripples bufflehead drake Aron Rothstein, USA A nice one-liner written by Aron Rothstein. Normally I would recommend to an author that he use "its" instead of "his" or "hers", however with the last word being "drake", Aron reinforces the use of "his". The word "ripples" is the setting, "centered" is the verb", "bufflehead drake" is the subject, and the zoom effect is notable. The "aha" in this haiku would be the wonderful symmetry that the visuals create. ~~~ ~~~ outgoing tide http://www.kernelsonline.com/haiku133.html 1/3/2014
  • 12. haiku133 Page 12 of 12 a barnacled pile fingers the wind James Chessing, USA I chose this haiku by James because it is a fine example of how to skilfully use a hint of personification. I am totally against blatant personification in any haiku, so this was a refreshing find. The visuals of the pile of barnacles fingering the wind, is very powerful. The way James has used "fingers" as a verb, refers not to the barnacle having fingers, rather it means that the "legs"( which they do have) of the barnacles "finger" the wind. This haiku has a wide setting which is the "outgoing tide", an interesting subject of barnacles in a pile, an action verb correctly placed on line three, and the follow through of "the wind". It has a syllable count of 4, 5, 4 which demonstrates how well a short, long, short rhythm works. ~~~ ~~~ an'ya, haiku editor Top • Home • Copyright © 2013, kernelsonline.com All rights reserved by the respective authors & artists http://www.kernelsonline.com/haiku133.html 1/3/2014
