I have no problem with observing something in nature that seems
interesting and profound, I like and do that. I have no problem with
something being short, in fact, I like that. As an example, I wrote
this a while ago (no, I'm not saying it's a haiku - in fact, I
disliked haiku at the time)
Cactus flower
Lewd though dour
I liked the pieces you posted kaspar, but, to what extent is the form
in haiku rigid? Why must they be 3 lines?
Take my piece for example, two lines four syllable each. If I were to
make it into a haiku would I have had to make it 3 lines? That I
would've detested. (I'm not sure if I would've had to deleted that
"lewd though dour" too).
