Haiku Month

Performing haiku in last year's Nimbin Poetry Festival, I made some valuable connections with people in the Australian creative writing scene. I was contacted via this blog for a sample of the haiku that I read. Then today, I stumbled across some delightful banners that showcased some of my work as part of the "Haiku Month" at Co-West Coworking+Writing Studio, a real delight to be featured amongst some of the masters of the haiku craft including: George Swede, Hakusuiro, Shiki, Zuiryu. Here are some pictures of the banners :) I'll write what Co-West Coworking+Writing Studio said about each banner above each picture...

The last one for the month - exquisite and immortal...

Lastly, I saw this banner while at Nimbin-- one of my favourite Bible verses in Psalms:

"The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever." -- Psalm 23: 1-6
