A haiku for the blood moon

Well, the blood moon came and went, and we won't see another like it for another 30 years or so, and it was a wonderful event, to be sure.  But since I'm also on a roll with the haiku at the moment, it occurred to me to write something for the occasion...

Blood moon in night sky-
Wait another thirty years,
Always great to see.

As always, feedback is welcome.

Another haiku, this time for MIRACLE OF SOUND!

As I've mentioned elsewhere before, I'm a big fan of the music project Miracle of Sound, which simply cannot exist without the great and unbelievably talented Gavin Dunne.

And since I'm already on a roll with the haiku stuff, I quickly composed this one in my mind and put it down into writing...

Miracle of Sound,
I just can't stop listening;
Gavin Dunne, rock on!

This one's for you, Gav!

My first English haiku in a long time ("I too like haiku...")

Believe it or not, folks, I am also something of a poet, even if I've been doing my own personal poetry on and off for, well, my entire life thus far...

And here's my first English haiku in a long time!

I too like haiku,
brief Japanese poetry,
works well in English.

Enjoy!
