It's Ed Markowski's birthday today. Ed's given us some of America's very best baseball and sports haiku and senryu. See American Sports Haiku by Ed Markowski at f/k/a. But, his oeuvre is far broader and deeper than his sports poetry -- as you can see by clicking the links at Ed's f/k/a archives page. Best wishes to my very good friend from Auburn Hills, Michigan!

david giacalone ("dagosan") looks at the foibles and ironies of the human condition, using poems structured like haiku but called "senryu", and with an occasional photo "haiga" (an image with a linked poem).
