Many thanks to guest editor Alex Fyffe for selecting my verse to be included in this week's commentary list on Haiku Dialogue's theme of Too Much Information. I enjoyed reading all the commentary and the rest of the verses, congratulations to the others! thehaikufoundation.org/haiku-dialog...

Senryu is born from each individual person. Regarding modern #senryu, Shinako Tokizane listed 10 points:

from the tower’s height tiny dots move like ants kites keep me company even clouds say hello I wait for your messages #tanka #TankaThursday #inkMine #poetry #poetrycommunity

avoiding songs that elicit silence I arrive at this moment of truth #vss365 arrive #TankaThursday #tanka #kyoka #Haikufeels #haikuchallenge #poem #poetry #poet #blueskypoets #poetrycommunity #micropoetry #haiku #senryu #5lines #dailyhaikuprompt #TankaPoem

So excited to be on Circle of Salt with this poem . Thanks to Kelly Sauvage Moyer but after an undivided donut chewing guilt circleofsaltmag.blogspot.com/2026/07/an-e...

wish the headline-writers would use the word 'immigrants' (the word that makes 'them' *ours*), or just 'people' (another part of *ours*), instead of 'migrants' (which I'm convinced is a far-right trojan horse—comes into wide usage after 2010 if my data is correct) this is not a comment on OP

This is tragic and all too common. Same old response from Burnham as previous PM's. Instead of focusing on why people have to use irregular routes, or the need to ensure that they can receive asylum without them, it is all about how measures need to be tougher. news.sky.com/story/three-...

I'm pleased to be part of the fascinating selection of haiku on a 'too much information' theme, part of the Man-Machine Interface series guest-edited by @asurashaiku.bsky.social at the Haiku Foundation. The resulting set of topical poems is worth checking out: thehaikufoundation.org/haiku-dialog...

I'm grateful to appear in the latest Asahi Shimbun Haikuist Network collection, here clipped up with editor David McMurray's words and a similar haiku by Mirela Brailean. Actually I think both of them are #fuzzy #haiku. www.asahi.com/ajw/articles...

Thanks to @asurashaiku.bsky.social for choosing this #haiku for commentary on the Haiku Dialogue Man-Machine Interface – Communication blog - fascinating to see poets writing about our digital context, not a usual subject to tackle. thehaikufoundation.org/haiku-dialog...
