Here I highlight Ken Wagner, whom I found via Borut's blog. The short verses are my responses to his haiku, which I have posted in the comments. I have linked the posts below each. Do check those out.cooped up

Interesting and a little surreal. Excellent.
having fun, huh? :)
Cool concept, G!
No train for me again this week. I'm doing more Demo Tapes promo...
Cool 'ku conversation!
I like your responds, I read yours first and then Wagner's and I think you have mirror each haiku's thought quite well
nicely done--I need to go read his haiku now
I think there's probably something here for everyone.
Personally I like:
flickering light-
fireflies
taking flight
what a cool, interactive set of haikus!
Hi Gautami
It was so nice to have you visit me & leave your nice comment.
Thank you!
I was away from blogging for a while & it's nice to be back.
I enjoyed all of your haikus.
Good work.

I loved all your responses...a perfect continuation of each haiku!
I like these - I've been following Wagners twitter for a bit and it was interesting to see your responses to his posts. Small world, short sentences... :) Good job!
Wow! I was at my day-job earlier when I read your mention of the link on your site - I had no idea this is what you meant.
I like yours better! I'll keep practicing.
My favorite:
'looking at food
I see nirvana
haikuing dried up'
wonderful! (the last one is my favorite. :)
"flickering light-
fireflies
taking flight"
Brings back memories - haven't seen a firefly for a long time. I feel so out of touch with nature.
really cool.
haikuing! love it.
As still as a cat,
or just a brick in the wall:
mind concentration.
wow, you've been busy, and in a good way!
me love the firefly :)
im about 1500 miles nearer to you now :P
Fascinating. :)
i like the last one a lot--what a great meditation! what a wonderful metaphor! i should put this on a tshirt ...
