A Transcript of Today’s Episode

Hello, it’s Friday, Feb ruary 3rd, 2023, and welcome to Haiku Daily, a poetry podcast that brings you two haiku every weekday, the second one, by me, Kyle G. Jones. This podcast invites you to slow down and reflect on moments in time caught in the amber of a poet’s attention and words. I’ll read each haiku twice with space in between.

Our first haiku comes from Matsuo Bashō:

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

        The old pond—
a frog jumps in
        sound of water.

A moment for reflection

Our second haiku was written by me

fresh snowfall
the smell
burns my nostrils
