    Could someone answer this? If someone wants another poster's haiku in the small thick book do I have to ask that person permission to write that haiku in the book? I don't have a problem with that, it just adds time. I'm not going to sell the book, just give it away.

    (Where The Wild Things Are was my daughters favorite book to have me read to her at night, some 19 year ago :) )


    wide eyes peer
    over sheets

    (the Far Away Tree was one of my favourite books as a child)

    Maybe it would be best to ask permission, but I don't know if you have to. I don't think anyone would have a problem though.

    I counted the number of pages in my little blank thick book, and I can't fit every poem in this thread, but I haven't received some responses, and people have opted out so I think I will be able to fit those that agree to have their poems included. Again, I will only include those poems that the posters have agreed to let me include.

    winds strong enough
    to leave damage
    What did I just say?

    30 degrees at night
    leaves twirl upward
