I have the following haiku and haibun in The Haiku Hecameron: Gratitude in the Time of COVID-19 (Chappaqua, New York: Girasole Press, 2020), edited by Scott Mason. A PDF of the entire book is available on the Haiku Foundation website. See also “Kite” and “From The Wonder Code.”

“May I have a candy?” I ask my wife as I drive us to the coast on a warm early-summer morning.
“Sure. Here’s a pink one. I don’t like the pink ones.”
“Why not give me one that I like?”
“Which ones do you like?” she asks.
I pop the candy in my mouth, savouring my answer.
“The pink ones,” I reply.
