I wrote this haiku for Haiku my Heart because I've just discovered the Sufi poet Hafiz in Daniel Ladinsky's translation The Gift. Like Rumi, but more raucously ecstatic.

  5. Please disturb me more, so I can break out of myself and this tilt-a-whirl I find myself in! Great haiku and your own spin on Hafiz! I think he would jump on the ride as well!

  10. What a fun haiku - in a sort of in-your-face way! I love the picture, as well - makes me think of childhood county fairs.
