RE: A Handful of Haiku to Greet the Day
I, too, am glad for @dbooster and his excellent haiku articles.
I enjoy all of the haiku you have here, but that first one is truly excellent. It has the perfect twist for this day and age. It resonates on a number of different levels - the feeling of love, the pull to get the phone.
I try very hard not to get my phone out when I am talking with someone face to face, but it can be difficult at times.
I think it was the Haiku Contest Results that gave me the urge to write haiku again.
Then I wrote the very first haiku in this collection.
And it was good enough to make me come up with the next four poems on the way to work. So yeah, I definitely hear you. I know it's brash of me to say so myself, but I do feel the first haiku is perfect, in terms of encapsulating all that a haiku should be.
And yeah, I very rarely check my phone or anything else while talking to people. It keeps making me shake my head when I see people do that.
