Sequences

One of the haiku arts is creating sequences. They might be narrative, all on a theme, or have some particular creative constraint or central idea. Here are a few of my haiku sequences, plus a tanka sequence or two for good measure. For collaborative thematic poetry, see also the Rengay page, or visit the Collaborations page for selections of symbiotic poetry.
