also, haiku are NOT meant to be read in collections, several dozen at
a time! that's just insane. collections exist just so that there would
be places to which to turn when an instance of a haiku moment is
desired.
read one, two, five haiku at a time. as many as you want to, so you
don't feel overwhelmed or aggravated (the haiku spirit is something
that has to be learned, eased into; in my experience). & if you read
haiku while thinking, "I have to understand this, this must be
extremely deep & meditative, it's important that I grasp this & make
my life better!!!", you won't enjoy haiku.
it's a mindset. :)
