Link Heaven

Like a link heaven
a haiku and blog filled post
windows of wonder

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I recently posted a comment on another blog in the form of this haiku:

elegant anguish
feeling sitting on a blog
a tint all its own

It was inspired by a poem that is presently the first entry on that blog: "a window into our's."
I found that site because of a comment that the author of the beautiful poems and thoughts on that blog left a recent comment at seraphic secret regarding a "Seraphic Shabbos".

Seraphic Secret is dedicated to the memory of Ariel Avrech. My haiku above is a description of the emotions that Robert and Karen express about their son, may his memory be a blessing.

Pearlies of Wisdom emailed me that my comment in haiku reminded her of graffiti artists who leave work without fanfare. Her remark reminded me of the man I once saw outside Central park who offered to sell me my choice of sonnet or haiku about myself. (Guess how I reacted).
As I recalled him I wrote this haiku:

central park poet
sells personalized poems
from poetry stand

I don't remember how, but I recently found a very impressive blog which has a recent post on the haikus of Richard Wright. Tamara, the blogger of that site, spent a recent Shabbos with a book of his work. I was intrigued and found some of his haikus online .
Here's one sample. I like that he sticks to 5-7-5, and pulls off saying much:

The neighing horses
are causing echoing neighs
in neighboring barns

That's it for now.

As a certain variety TV comedian used to say: Goodnight and may G-d bless.
Tell me if you remember who (unless you already answered last time I asked here).
