Remember your haiku notebook!


This is Carol Steele, a stalwart member of the the Yuki Teikei Haiku Society
She has served as President, and is just retiring as the long-time Editor of Geppo, our newsletter. Countless meetings and special events have been ornamented by her Ikebana,
of which she has made a long-time and devoted study.
Here she is shown working on a haiku at our Tanabata celebration 
in the hills above Livermore in 2007.

It is a worthwhile habit to carry a small notebook like this with you
so you can catch haiku impressions when they occur to you.

Tanabata—
so many night lights for
sleeping garden stones

The mocking bird sings;
