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!

santa leaves two 2008 haiga calendars

2007-12-19T08:56:00.000-05:00

As announced here, the f/k/a Gang has put together two 12-page calendars,
with a haiga on each page, for your use and possible enjoyment throughout
2008. One's kitschy and one a bit more artsy. You can print them
out from an uploaded Word document:

The f/k/a Haiga Memories Calendar 2008 has haiga with b&w photos taken circa 1950 by Mama Giacalone of her three darling children.

The Giacalone Haiga Calendar 2008.combines photos taken by Arthur Giacalone. Most have been published or are pending at varous online journals.

My alter ego dagosan takes responsibility for the haiku and senryu used to create the calendar haiga.

setting up the creche --
the Baby's name
whispered over and over

home for Christmas -
three old bladders
and one bathroom

single at Christmas
not enough to-do
to do

regifting:
it's not just for
fruitcakes anymore

he's furious -
that godless salesgirl
said "Happy Holidays!"

a warm yule . . .
the ice-fishing hole
mostly hole

pending - Simply Haiku (Aug. 2006)

six wrinkled faces
around the Christmas feast -
leftovers

christmas nightcap --
mom and the kids clink
glasses of metamucil

what Christmas tsunami ?
our children awash
in gifts

deflated santa
on the neighbor's roof -
her first smile since Christmas

December 30:
valentine's candy
on Rite Aid shelves

January 1
blackeyed peace
for the battered wife

in three minutes
the ball drops -- positioning
myself to kiss her

Chinese New Year --
weekend shift
at the Wal-Mart warehouse

Groundhog's Day -
our weatherman hedges
the weekend forecast

February 12
dinner at her place --
who gets the 14th?

no valentine's card --
my secret admirer
plays coy

Valentine's Day --
the new sign
says "Thin Ice"

Feb. 15
eating the entire
half-priced heart

March 1:
the shy bachelor
wishes it were Leap Year

mid-March thaw --
et tu,
(snow) buddha?

drawing the
designated driver straw --
st. patrick's day

Good Friday
for the apostate--
scarecrows on crosses

Easter, 4 A.M. --
chocolate mustaches
on father and son

easter monday --
day-late basket
of half-priced candy

chilly 5th of May --
enchiladas
and serapes

first day in short pants --
skinnny white legs
go window shopping

online dawn to dark:
I.O.Me
one perfect spring day

one glass of wine -
Google keeps asking
"Did you mean _____?"

blind date tomorrow --
will she
Yahoo! me tonight?

Yesterday, I made an important decision about
this weblog. Coincidentally, this is the 100th
post here at simply haiku. With that milestone,
I'm going to stop trying to post a senryu here
every day.

You see, I've concluded that keeping up two daily
haikai weblogs has reduced the overall quality of
my poetry -- and, despite any contrary appearances,
I really do have a sense of pride.

deadline
dead ...............
lines ......................

From now on, then, I'm going to post once a day
at dagosan's haiku diary. If that poem seems
worth sharing at an all-senryu website, I'll post
it here, too.

So, thanks for stopping by here the past few months,
and come back to see additions or browse the Archives.
Naturally, dagosan hopes you'll visit his haiku diary often.
