Introduction Began writing haiku in 1972. I have always published poetry under my nickname, Tito. Founded Hailstone Haiku Circle in 2000 in order to link together in events and publishing three or four groups of people to whom I was already either teaching English haiku composition or with whom I was sharing English haiku. Hailstone has turned out to be great fun ... and we haven't melted yet! Am also a member of the British Haiku Society and have made many radio programmes for the B.B.C. featuring haiku, senryu, tanka and other short forms of poetry. As a hobby, I also do ikeishi or stone arrangement, often in galleries. You can contact the Hailstone Haiku Circle through the COMMENTS button on the most recent Notice-board. My profile was first posted here on 20 April 2007.
Interests Ikeishi: stone arrangement
