zazen: I have 

"Ordinary Mind" - my shadow

ordinary head

 

her latest letter -

samadhi of cake crumbs

cleft between teeth

 

green the leaves

a light breeze ripples

my heart

 

rustling in the cosmos

it's little Jenny Wren

tugging at leaves

I do. I really like the first and third haiku here George, and don't think you should change a thing. I'm not sure about 'cleft' in the second one - is it a noun or a verb here? If it was removed, I think it might work just as well?  Incidentally, if you have a couple of your own favourite haiku that you wouldn't mind me showing at my reading circle, I'd love to use them? I really liked the one you read out about the family barbeque - how did it go?
