Happy Birthday Hotspot

The Hotspot Haiku Circle Blog has reached its first birthday.
During the year we have had 113 original haiku or short poems published on this blog by 20 different poets.
Richard Steiner, Jonathan Gott and Gerald Staggers have been our most exuberant and prolific contributors.

You can easily review the published haiku by using the monthly archive listing at the side of this page. Among the many fine poems we have published, here are two of my favourites:

Following the monk
With a key as long as a wand ...
Autumn leaves
(Tito, November)

Winter storm churning
The park's high oaks and beeches -
Cat shifts in my lap.
(Jonathan Gott, December)
