The unusual “haiku reading” stood out for me. Made me wonder about that “one-legged crow” — is it real? Does it appear in multiple haiku during the reading? Or is it perhaps a euphemism for haiku that are lacking something? Interesting!
Thank you very much for your curiosity! This is very real. The same one legged crow still comes to my terrace where I read my haiku for myself!
