Rain-soaked wind
the weather-worn notice
peels back more
I'm very happy to post another haiku by Alan Summers, author of the haiku we used for our 270th competition last month. Alan is an award-winning poet and President of the United Haiku and Tanka Society. If you have 5 minutes, watch his TEDx Talk on Youtube "Amazement of the ordinary- life through a haiku lens".
This haiku was selected for a street installation currently on display in Washington DC, created on the occasion of the 6th annual Golden Haiku Competition.
