Morris Keesan answered John Hertz’s recent metrical sally Verse and Verse with three haiku of his own. He sent them to John in a postcard, knowing better than to count on John seeing them online. However, the two poets have agreed File 770 readers should not be deprived…
Morris Keesan:
The creatures I meet
Have seven feet in one line,
Five in the others.
Meet them in a line
Exchange seven feet for five.
A net loss of two?
Do they profit, thus?
Is it how many they have,
Or how they use them?
John Hertz:
Seven-foot creatures
With five on each side to help
Exchange beauty, truth.
