There are many reasons not to buy from Amazon, but credit where credit is due -- good on them for making it easier to identify phishing attempts. www.amazon.com/gp/help/cust...

Hadn’t known about this book before — thanks for sharing the link. Great collection. “Memorial Day fireworks” and “water pistols” are especially poignant.

this is a great issue with a lot of really good haiku - definitely check it out. Barrie Levine's "planetarium" especially is a memorable poem, with its strong juxtaposition of the macro and micro, the excitement inherently conveyed to the reader, and the simple & succinct word choice and structure.
