More than ten years ago, I discovered the T'ang and chan Chinese poetry. I appreciate this way of describing the world through little touches, in raw, leaving the reader reconstructing images, and its integration of the sensitive world. I prefer short forms, evanescent. Haiku seems to me a logical path, an effective technic. 

I write because I like it, to share emotions, instants to remember. I publish on different internet mailing-lists and servers, among others :

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/shiki-temp
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/haiku-fr

Louve Mathieu gives me a place on her site for my poetry.

I have created sites about the writing of haiku. They are each a personal engagement to offer to authors and associations a space for publication free from any commercial constraints open to the international community.

Among the most importants :

temps libres - free times : http://www.tempslibres.org :
This site. On of the first sites of the emerging international haiku community. A site dedicated to information, publication, reading, contact, but also a weekly, monthly page and a dozen of sites of invitees.

Aozora : http://aozora.tempslibres.org
The portal of haiku in the Balkans with about twenty subsites and all avaialable information about the haiku activity in the region.

Haiku Društvo Slovenije :
