Hide and seek:
a foolish game---
I hide, you hide,
We seek each other.
Author's Note:
I sent this haiku to my former college literature teacher back in 2001. I hero-worshipped him since my college days. Five years after I graduated, he encouraged me to join the DLSU Iyas Creative Writing Workshop and actually helped me make it to the shortlist. I got in as one of the 10 fellows selected nationwide. We exchanged and discussed poetry afterwards, went out to dinner...and broke each other's heart. This haiku started it all. He is now happily married to a woman he thinks he loves.
