Carpe Diem Special titled “Sweat Lodge” … “The goal of this special is to write a new haiku in the same sense, tone and Spirit as the one given of the featured haiku-poet. Garry writes his haiku in the non-classical style, so you don’t have to use the classical syllables-structure 5-7-5, but if you like … of course you may use the classic count.”
Garry Gay’s Inspiration:
sweat lodge –
my only vision
is of the cool water
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fair-skinned lass – scorched on sunny beach
Dreaming of cool ridge
