You can't wear shorts!

Kyoto plains,
Springs green gown,
Layered in cherry blossom.

Ooh! So you write haiku aswell. V impressive. You even mention a season in there too. Makes it even more authentic apparently. Real haiku should always mention a time did you know that? Probably :)

Why thank you!
I try.
I didn't actually know that, top tip though.
I was inspired by Japan's greatest ever haiku poet Matsuo Basho (1644-94). (sorry quoting direct from the cover there) I have several of his books and I love them. I discovered one of his books at a drunken party (on a wee one)((book not party)) and I refused to be disturbed until I finished it.
Have you written any?

Nah. I like haiku but I can't write for toffee me. My efforts at poetry are even worse.

While browsing Haiku on the web a while back i found this: www.origamiboulder.com

My favourite ever site (aside from Nat's of course!)

The replies to 'Letters from Dum Dums' are an artform in themselves.

Enjoy.

Yes of course, thankyou! So H, you speak Haiku too!? I'm impressed I thought all you could talk about is yourself

There was an old man
he lived in a dirty hole
And ate fish for tea

Moo, last time I checked, that didn't count as an apology.

You apologised to duffer so now apologise to someone who is more important than a used car salesman.
