Poems for G. H.
by David Jaffin
As G. H.
As G. H.
correctly in
dicates the
natural image
itself can
often realise
a plurality
of self-sus
taining express
iveness.
For G. H.’
For G. H.’
s “haiku”
Yes every sin
gle syllable
counts most
especially
that spacious
expanse as
an entire world
landscaped-
in-snow.
For G. H.
For G. H.
Haiku at
its best a
way of capti
vating a sing
gle moment
though not
only for its
own sake.
G. H.
G. H.
If it’s re
peatedly
the same voice
you hear as
with birds
of the same
species then
it must be
genuine.
