shiki kukai - driftwood

The theme for the March 2016 Free Format section of the monthly kukai at haikuworld was 'Driftwood'. I wrote my entry in a very short while, but i thought it was not too good.

Well, it still managed to garner 2 votes. :)

shiki kukai - returning home

The theme for the May 2015 Free Format section of the monthly kukai at haikuworld was 'Returning Home'. After just a couple of drafts, I was satisfied with the final product.

I thought it could do better, but a return of 6 points is not too bad. :)
