Thank you Robert Frost:

The Star-splitter
By Robert Frost
“You know Orion always comes up sideways.
Throwing a leg up over our fence of mountains,
And rising on his hands, he looks in on me
Busy outdoors by lantern-light with something
I should have done by daylight, and indeed,
After the ground is frozen, I should have done
Before it froze, and a gust flings a handful
Of waste leaves at my smoky lantern chimney
To make fun of my way of doing things,
Or else fun of Orion’s having caught me.

Read the whole poem by clicking the title!

I figured if I put my mind to it, I could cut up all my printed-out haiku into something I could use to sort and read from. I started and then I remembered my Fiskars Paper Cutter. Found it!

Whew. Using the right tool for the job makes such a difference.

Now I have a way-too-big stack of cards to sort through and pick the best of the best. Too old school?

when the day is done,
eye, always seeking color,
sees tan and slate sky

Last night’s shooting stars
a gift of Halley’s Comet:
the Orionids

Shooting stars dash from
Orion and Gemini
bits of Halley’s trace.

I have categorized and ranked all the haiku I threw into Bento. I don’t have great feelings about Bento, but at least it’s done. Now I could really use some hints on how to get it from there onto paper and actually have some say in how it looks. I don’t think that’s asking a lot LOL.

Now to pick out the best of the best I guess.
