O, humidity
heavy air dripping with sweat
boys cannonball off docks.

Gary Busha is a Wisconsin native who likes that state’s changing seasons. His poetry—lean and plain-spoken, with themes of nature and lament—is strongly influenced by his good fortune in having grown up on Lake Winnebago. A poetry chapbook publisher for many years, Gary has three chapbooks of his own, which he claims are the better for having studied such a wide range of poetic styles over the years. Most recently, he’s created a mini-chapbook series of haiku and small poems, called On the Dock, Rhyme Tyme, and Canoe Haiku.

How can you not like a guy who's written a book called Canoe Haiku? Good poem.

Dangerous habit
getting deep in the moment:
haiku addiction!
[Sorry, Gary, but the craving just kicks in sometimes... nice one this, with those cannonball boys - just what they do!]

How few words (and how much living) it takes to make a great poem.
