(What follows is a series of “Linked Haiku” — multiple spontaneously-composed Haiku on one single subject. In this case, the Haiku are responses to the 2012 Wine Bloggers Conference; specifically, each Haiku is directly related to a specific agenda event at the conference)
–
A welcome with kind-
ness is kind; a welcome with
wine is sacrosanct!
-
Like brunch; a something
between somethings: between wine
and the writer: love.
-
Writing of wine, we don’t
write of self; rather, we write
of seeking no-self.
-
As with waterfalls,
flowing hospitality
is always holy.
-
Life of many friends,
week of many meetings, night
of many bottles.
-
Wine maker/writer;
we both prefer our glasses
be rosé-colored!
-
There are many kinds
of natural, but only
one kind of honest.
-
Do not stress the ease
of writing unless one is
sure that one writes well!
-
Love at first sight? Per-
haps, but a wine requires
more than five minutes!
-
Certainly we are
all winners. As are the win-
ners, only more so!
-
To truly dine like
a king, one must dine on the
estate of the king!
-
To write well is to
warm hearts. To write with passion;
this is to Ignite!

Ah, brilliant! The Haiku spirit …

What a great response to WBC12! Love the haikus!
Having sat with you for two speed wine “dates” (in 2012 & 2010)–we both know that 5 minutes is plenty of time for some wines…and 5 hours isn’t enough for others…

Beauty is in the
Eye of the beholder, so
Keep up the good work!

Thank you for the comment, and for the kind words!

p.s. I meant to praise you for your haiku! And, funny you should use the “beauty is in the eye of …” cooloquialism; I was actually really trying to work with that for one of the Haiku in my post, but couldn’t make it work; so, congratulations, and nicely done!

Great poetry, man.
I’m glad you have many more
typewriters to spare.
