It was a bad week. Came down with a stomach bug, knocked out for a few days, body felt like being wrung by a giant hand. And I was trying very hard to put the finishing touches to the GPA poems.

Meanwhile, make do with my free-format haiku for haikuworld's July kukai. The theme was "weekend activity" and it managed zero votes. Talking of weekend activity, yeah, I am working on Sunday... image by dsnake1

Wonderful and so simple.
The best kind, I guess

30 July, 2007 09:49 hi Annie,
thanks for your visit and kind words. :)

thank you. i'm already up and running, but the beginning of the week, Tue and Wed, was very bad.

30 July, 2007 21:55 Typical man!

*running away grinning*

30 July, 2007 22:12 And hope you are 100% ok now! thanks, Gautami!
almost 100% ok. couldn't do as much blog visiting as i like.

and also editing the competition poems. Worse than an exam. :)

best wishes from here on!

as to the haiku/senryu, well, i can perfectly relate to it but... there's no meaning beyond the obvious.
and it also happens that quality poems don't get many votes
(i didn't feel i had good enough material so i didn't participate this time)

30 July, 2007 23:43 thank you!
i always welcome your comments about haikus. :)
