summer afternoon
the serious business
of popping bubbles

    Oh its time I did make a show in your corner of the world, because you have certainly made such a wonderful showing in mine. I love both of these haiku, and as one who has spent much serious time doing things such as popping bubbles (counting spots?), I can also relate. mrow

  2. these are delightful... the aha! moment in the first, and the gentle humour in the second

    Hi Dalloway!

    I agree with Polona on both.

    The first is a strong haiku - really original. Wow!

    The second is more of a senryu. It glows with your personality. I only wonder if, instead of saying "the serious business", there isn't a way to convey the same idea through imagery?
