While Ravi works hard selecting our haiku, and for LEAF Issue Two our Haiga too, as he has none of his amazing work in LEAF I asked him to select some of his wonderful haiku to share with you here.

It’s people like you, Ravi, who inspire and humble me. Your words play with my head and my heart and take me to places I didn’t know existed. Thank you for all your hard work with LEAF and for being a guide, a teacher, who allows writers like me to peek into how its done. Flows so effortlessly, your words. Thank you. I look forward to many more.
