AugustLeo ? Is there a reason you skipped my haiku? There was enough time between posts, there was no simultaneous posting. So - is doing this to newcomers part of the hazing/shit that old TTB folks give new people?

You guys must really think this forum is something special to make people work so hard to be accepted or to be shown a little courtesy. Guess what.

Thanks Pietro for the heads up.

HFD - please forgive me, and please don't read anything more into it than that I'm not very experienced with haiku chains.

Both life and death, tao
I honor my friends
And my friends honor me

hfd, I think it is just a matter of time taken in responding to the previous post. Don't take it personally, no one is against you.

Also, the format for Haiku is 5-7-5 syllables. Some people are doing 5-5-5.

Thanks
