Watching the moon
in the western horizon
two haiku poets
scratch each others back and mock
the rest as neophytes

The following comments are for "NEOPHYTES"
by R.K.Singh

reminds me
of Bertrand Russell, and “The only thing that will redeem mankind is cooperation” … not sure if it redeems poetkind here or not, in that the back scratchers are in their own world, looking with contempt upon the others…. but then, the neophytes are only just beginning… and they will perhaps arrive at the wisdom of mutuality too. thank you for another thought provoking write. the best to you.

Rk's Haiku
You know, anything I write will just sound stupid following Shannon's comment. How can anyone compete with that brain? he's too smart for the likes of me.

Suffice to say, I thoroughly enjoyed this haiku. Reminds of me Buddhist wisdom - where logic is everything and nothing all at once.

I happened upon this, because I love Haiku. I found your interesting blink here, and comments by two that I admire. So, thank you. Nice choice I came upon.

Your "Haiku" is very interesting.

Apparently these two thinkers have been up all night, and still don't get it.

-But if they're happy and hurting no one, well-
(I live in the south of the US, so that statement can mean a lot!)

-It's the neophytes who need to know. Unless the goal is just to have everyone clueless, and then, well, I guess we're all on track... ;)
