David Cobb (haijinx bio 2002 | registry bio 2010) contributed “Humour in Haiku” for his spotlight in our second issue. In it he discusses R. H. Blyth’s definition of humour as one of the 13 chief characteristics of haiku.

haijinx I:2 : Humour in Haiku (Summer 2001)

note from the editor
The original issues of haijinx are not indexed by the new site automatically. So from time to time I will add a quick post that links to an older piece. Eventually this will enable readers to find these original items using the tags, etc in the new haijinx.
