moonset Literary Newspaper invites haiku poets to submit their signature haiku. Here's mine. It's a revision of one I posted here, in the original version, in 2006. The original took first place in the Shiki Kukai for April 2006, so this is a kind of anniversary, if you're sentimental about those things.
