When I am hungry,
the one last can of cheap soup
is the very best.

****

By a peaceful gate
we stand together, lone oak
beyond the hayfields.


****

Fudging the data
is not a very nice thing
to do in science.

Infinity: a sidelong
glance at the next dimension.

Very interesting and thought-provoking, easy!  I am sadly familiar with the one about the soup, too, from days gone by.  Love the image in the 2nd Haiku of the N and companion tree.

Wishing you the best~

Same to you, Amaryllis.

"The N"?

Sorry... `N` is critique parlance for `narrator`... since I cannot ever assume a poem is autobigraphical  (been burnt by that before)

Ah, thanks. Most all of my stuff here is extemporaneous at-the-keyboard, and is therefore wrought from recalled personal observations.

Very well, easy!  Good to know...       I shall desist with the `N`  lol

Sometimes, Easy, I care not to read the responses first, but to do directly from the poem to the response...

but tonight, I'm grateful for not following that self-directed path; because it gave me insight, and some exposure upon the poet...

so...

Write often, write soon.

Great, more haiku. I've missed them. Been on holiday in California. I like all of these. The one about science is very thought-provoking. My husband worked for a big laboratory in Europe for years. Talk about fudging, stealing, etc. ! I think the one I like the best is the second, the most classic. Somehow that oak tree is wonderfully visual and poetic. Thanks.

Thank you, Sunshine, and thank you, Bastet, for your kind words and encouragement. Bastet, welcome back. You must be psychic---I had planned to do another "laboratory" themed ditty.
