WHAT I'M LOOKING OR IN A GOOD BOOK

teach me; oppose me;
de-stabilisze my mindscape;
...just inspire me.

ONE HUNDRED GREAT BOOKS IN HAIKU

Bought a terrific book at Oxford today. Its called

ONE HUNDRED GREAT BOOKS IN HAIKU-David Bader

Frm what i've read so far, i alreay have several favourite. here's one:

THE CONFESSIONS
St. Augustine

This is just to say
I screwed around. Forgive me.
I enjoyed it so.

And if you're read OEDIPUS REX (Sophocles), you'll love this one:

Chorus: Poor bastard.
Oedipus: This is awful!
Blind Seer: Told you so.

Still reading, loving, laughing :)

And then- the moon hides, dogs howl
And you are afraid.
