New #5
Inch-worm on the leaves
Of the flowering basil
cuts out green half-moons.

Haiku Daybook
The Haiku Daybook will record 365 extemporaeneous short poems in the traditional haiku or medieval tanka forms: one poem for every day of the year. This is equal parts writing exercise, life's record, & mnemonic aide.
The haiku's 5-7-5 syllabic structure is familiar to most readers. Its predecessor, the tanka, includes a couplet of 7 syllable lines as a kind of epigram.
Memory is the intent, writing is the means, poetry is the method- & brevity is the relief!
