I have always found it hard to include “season” words since where I live we do not have traditional seasons. Although there are differences that are more subtle. It is a very useful practice to try and use language that is more universal rather than more local which is something for me to really work on.

Although I am love all the offered haikus on the page, I really enjoyed this one by Mr. Clausen for several reasons. First because it made me laugh in recognition. I have done this exact same thing while in waiting rooms. Second, it made me feel joy and a connectedness to the author and a singular moment when we shared an activity. Third it brought forth the surreptitious feelings of not being caught unable to recognize whether a plant is real or not. And of course finally laughing at myself over the silliness of it all.
Thank you Mr. Clausen!
